The awards season is currently in full steam and the Writers Guild of America is the latest organization to crown its winners. Promising Young Woman received the award for the best original screenplay, while Borat Subsequent Moviefilm came out victorious in the category of the best-adapted screenplay.

Promising Young Woman is currently the front-runner for the same award at the Oscars, where it will be competing against several movies it defeated at WGA Awards. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm also received an Academy Award nod for the best-adapted screenplay, and it will be up against The Father, Nomadland, The White Tiger, and One Night in Miami.

When it comes to TV categories, The Crown once again led the way, and it was named the best drama series. It was also a great night for Apple TV’s rookie sitcom Ted Lasso, which won a total of two awards—best comedy series and best new series.

The list of major winners also included The Dissident (best documentary screenplay), Mrs. America (best long-form series – original), and The Queen’s Gambit (best long-form series – adapted).

One Night in Miami

According to Variety, all four stars of the Regina King directorial debut—Kingsley Ben-Adir, Eli Goree, Aldis Hodge, and Leslie Odom Jr.—will be competing in the same category, either lead or supporting.

Clancy Brown has been tapped to star in Promising Young Women

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Thor: Ragnarok star is the latest talent to be added to the call sheet for the thriller from Emerald Fennell.

He joins previously announced Carey Mulligan, Bo Burnham, Alison Brie, Connie Britton, Adam Brody, Jennifer Coolidge, Laverne Cox, Max Greenfield, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Sam Richardson, and Molly Shannon.

Promising Young Woman follows Cassie (Mulligan) who everyone said was a promising young woman until a tragic event abruptly derailed her future. Now she’s a medical school drop-out, living at home with her worried parents and working at a coffee shop. It seems like she is at a standstill, except for the double life she leads at night.

Fennell is also producing the Focus Features and FilmNation Entertainment pic.

Clancy Brown has been tapped to star in Promising Young Women

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Thor: Ragnarok star is the latest talent to be added to the call sheet for the thriller from Emerald Fennell.

He joins previously announced Carey Mulligan, Bo Burnham, Alison Brie, Connie Britton, Adam Brody, Jennifer Coolidge, Laverne Cox, Max Greenfield, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Sam Richardson, and Molly Shannon.

Promising Young Woman follows Cassie (Mulligan) who everyone said was a promising young woman until a tragic event abruptly derailed her future. Now she’s a medical school drop-out, living at home with her worried parents and working at a coffee shop. It seems like she is at a standstill, except for the double life she leads at night.

Fennell is also producing the Focus Features and FilmNation Entertainment pic.
