WGA Awards 2018: The Complete Winners List

The Writers Guild of America handed out their annual awards during a ceremony that was held at the Beverly Hills Hilton and Edison Ballroom on Sunday.

It's also worth mentioning that "Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri" was ineligible for WGA consideration. James Ivory won Best Adapted Screenplay for "Call Me By Your Name".

In the television category, the WGA honored "The Handmaid’s Tale", "Veep" and "Big Little Lies", among others.

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.

The nominees for the 2016 Writers Guild and Producers Guild awards have been announced. Most of the candidates are rather obvious, including films like "Spotlight, Steve Jobs, Sicario, The Big Short, The Martian, The Revenant" and "Mad Max: Fury Road". Some weren't as lucky, however, like Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" and "The Danish Girl", while "Carol" missed out on a PGA nod.

Some surprises include the nods received by "Straight Outta Compton" at both the WGA and PGA, as well as a nomination for Original Screenplay scored by the Amy Schumber comedy "Trainwreck". Another big surprise is the inclusion of "True Detective" Season 2 on the PGA Long-Form Television category, since it was mostly derided for being, well, pretty bad.

TV candidates include "The Good Wide", "American Horror Story: Hotel", "Fargo", "Game of Thrones", "Better Call Saul", "Mad Men", "Veep", "Transparent", "Silicon Valley" and "Modern Family".

The PGA winners will be announced on January 23rd, while the WGA winners will be revealed on February 13th.

2014 Writers Guild of America Award Winners

The Writers Guild of America Awards winners have been announced. In the film categories, the award for Best Original Screenplay went to Spike Jonze for "Her", Billy Ray won Best Adapted Screenplay for "Captain Phillips" and Best Documentary Screenplay was awarded to Sarah Polley for "Stories We Tell". As far as predictions for the Oscars go, the WGA have a high prediction factor and have accurately indicated Oscar winners in the past, but it should be taken into account that in the Best Adapted Screenplay category, the WGA ruled that "12 Years a Slave" wasn't eligible. Considering how "12 Years a Slave" is a strong contender at the Oscars, and it has been nominated for Adapted Screenplay, it's still the favorite to win. In television, the big winners were "Veep", "Breaking Bad" and "House of Cards".

2014 Writers Guild Awards Nominations Announced

The nominations for the 2014 Writers Guild Awards have been announced. The usual suspects like "American Hustle", "Blue Jasmine", "Her", "Captain Phillips" and "Dallas Buyers Club" are all here, so no big surprises, apart from the nomination of Peter Berg's screenplay for the war drama "Lone Survivor". A significant snub is that of the Coen's "Inside Llewyn Davis", which, despite an incredible critical reception, seems to be pretty much ignored at the Guild awards.
