IMDb

The 76th edition of the Writers Guild of America Awards celebrated outstanding writing in film, television, and radio from the previous year. Held on April 14, 2024 (local time), the awards took place at the Hollywood Palladium for the West Coast ceremony and New York’s Edison Ballroom for the East Coast event.

In Los Angeles, Emmy-winner Niecy Nash-Betts hosted this year’s event. Meanwhile, comedian Josh Gondelman took on hosting duties for the East Coast ceremony.

This marked the first WGA Awards following last year’s Hollywood strikes, which also prompted the decision to postpone this year’s ceremony until April, a month after the Oscars.

With the nominations announced on February 21, the list of winners is finally here.
