The post “Barbie”, “Oppenheimer”, & “The Bear” Are Nominated for 2024 WGA Awards appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>The Writers Guild made several pretty unconventional choices this year, starting with nominating Barbie for the best original screenplay, unlike the Academy Awards. Air, The Holdovers, May December, and Past Lives also received a nod, while the major Oscar contender Anatomy of a Fall has been shut out.
The WGA nominations for the best adapted screenplay also significantly differ from the Oscar contenders in the same field. American Fiction and Oppenheimer are the only films to be nominated at both ceremonies, and they’ll be competing against Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret., Killers of the Flower Moon, and Nyad at the WGA Awards.
When it comes to the TV nominations, Succession and The Bear are leading the way following their recent Emmy sweeps. Succession is the main contender for the best drama series, in addition to receiving two nods for the episodic drama, while The Bear mirrored its success on the comedy side with three nods, including best comedy series.
The Writers Guild will announce the WGA Awards winners on April 14.

]]>The post “Severance”, “Everything Everywhere”, & “Women Talking” Win Big at 2023 WGA Awards appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>Everything Everywhere cemented its status as the Oscars front-runner after beating The Menu, Nope, The Fabelmans, and Tár to win the best original screenplay. Women Talking pulled an upset in the best adapted screenplay category, where it faced tough competition in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Top Gun: Maverick, and She Said.
The win for Everything Everywhere increases its chances of winning the Oscar in the same category, but the field is even more competitive at this show since it also includes The Banshees of Inisherin and Triangle of Sadness. Women Talking also isn’t a lock at the Oscars, and the German anti-war epic All Quiet on the Western Front is its strongest competitor.
The TV field at the WGA Awards was pretty strong, but the sci-fi drama Severance managed to come on top. In addition to winning the trophy for the best drama, it was named the best new series, while The Bear picked up the award for the best comedy.

]]>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).
The 73rd Writers Guild of America Awards took place on March 21st, and they’re often a great indicator of future winners in writing categories at the Oscars.

]]>The post “Barbie”, “Oppenheimer”, & “The Bear” Are Nominated for 2024 WGA Awards appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>The Writers Guild made several pretty unconventional choices this year, starting with nominating Barbie for the best original screenplay, unlike the Academy Awards. Air, The Holdovers, May December, and Past Lives also received a nod, while the major Oscar contender Anatomy of a Fall has been shut out.
The WGA nominations for the best adapted screenplay also significantly differ from the Oscar contenders in the same field. American Fiction and Oppenheimer are the only films to be nominated at both ceremonies, and they’ll be competing against Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret., Killers of the Flower Moon, and Nyad at the WGA Awards.
When it comes to the TV nominations, Succession and The Bear are leading the way following their recent Emmy sweeps. Succession is the main contender for the best drama series, in addition to receiving two nods for the episodic drama, while The Bear mirrored its success on the comedy side with three nods, including best comedy series.
The Writers Guild will announce the WGA Awards winners on April 14.

]]>The post “Severance”, “Everything Everywhere”, & “Women Talking” Win Big at 2023 WGA Awards appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>Everything Everywhere cemented its status as the Oscars front-runner after beating The Menu, Nope, The Fabelmans, and Tár to win the best original screenplay. Women Talking pulled an upset in the best adapted screenplay category, where it faced tough competition in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Top Gun: Maverick, and She Said.
The win for Everything Everywhere increases its chances of winning the Oscar in the same category, but the field is even more competitive at this show since it also includes The Banshees of Inisherin and Triangle of Sadness. Women Talking also isn’t a lock at the Oscars, and the German anti-war epic All Quiet on the Western Front is its strongest competitor.
The TV field at the WGA Awards was pretty strong, but the sci-fi drama Severance managed to come on top. In addition to winning the trophy for the best drama, it was named the best new series, while The Bear picked up the award for the best comedy.

]]>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).
The 73rd Writers Guild of America Awards took place on March 21st, and they’re often a great indicator of future winners in writing categories at the Oscars.
