WGA Awards 2018: The Complete Winners List

2017 Writers Guild Awards Winners Announced (Complete List)

"La La Land" finally took a break from winning awards last night as the Writers Guild of America announced the winners of their 69th annual WGA Awards. "Moonlight" and "Arrival" secured the big wins for Original Screenplay and Adapted Screenplay, respectively. Of course this won't mean much for the Oscars, where "La La Land" is nominated for Original Screenplay, while "Moonlight" is nominated for Adapted Screenplay, since the film is based on an unproduced play.

In the television categories, the winners were "The Americans", a double-win for "Atlanta", "This is Us", "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt", "Confirmation" and "American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson".

2017 Writers Guild Awards Nominations Announced

The Writers Guild of America has announced the nominees for the 2017 screenwriting awards. Once again, Oscar hopefuls like "La La Land", "Manchester by the Sea", "Moonlight", "Arrival" and "Fences" scored nods.

The biggest surprise is that "Deadpool" received a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination. While the WGA is certainly no stranger to genre flicks - "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Looper" have received recognition in previous years - it's certainly surprising to see the R-rated comic book adaptation nominated. Some would say that, while certainly a solid adaptation of the source material, it's far from a perfect film, and perhaps not even a very good one, especially when placed in the company of some of the year's best films.

The nominees in the Television category include "The Americans", "Better Call Saul", "Game of Thrones", "Stranger Things", "Westworld", "Atlanta", "Transparent", "Silicon Valley", "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and "Veep".

The 2017 Writers Guild Awards will be announced on February 19th.
