The Writers Guild of America honors the best in television and film of 2023 through its annual WGA Awards, held this year at the Hollywood Palladium for the West Coast edition and at the Edison Ballroom in New York for the ceremony on the East coast.
In Los Angeles, Niecy Nash-Betts, who recently won an Emmy for her role in Netflix’s “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” hosted this year’s event. LA Awards executive producer Hugh Fink (“Saturday Night Live”) was joined by producer Benn Fleishman of Avalon Harbor Entertainment to oversee this year’s ceremony, which will take place in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Palladium. In the East, comedian Josh Gondelman served as host.
This replaced the first WGA Awards after last year’s Hollywood strikes (which also led to the decision to postpone this year’s ceremony until April, a month after the Oscars).
“We fought for equal pay, equal voice and our rights to get to the end of a 10-episode season,” Nash-Betts said.
Other presenters scheduled for this year’s Los Angeles awards show include Bill Burr (“Old Dads,” “F is For Family”), Diedrich Bader (“Veep,” “The Drew Carey Show”), Drew Carey (“The Drew Carey Show”). Show”), Gina Yashere (“Bob Hearts Abishola”), Lindsay Dougherty (Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 399), Maria Sten (“Big Sky”, “Reacher”), Nathan Fielder (“The Curse”, “The Rehearsal”), Randall Park (“Always Be My Maybe”, “Fresh Off The Boat”), Tig Notaro (“One Mississippi”, “Tig Notaro: Boyish Girl Interrupted”), Tony Hale (“Veep”, ” Arrested Development”, Wendi McLendon-Covey (“The Goldbergs”, “Reno 911!”) and more.
Also: David A. Goodman and Chris Keyser received the Morgan Cox Guild Service Award, while Walter Hill was to receive the Laurel Award for Screenwriting Achievement. Additionally, Linda Bloodworth Thomason received the Laurel Award for Television Writing Achievement and Cord Jefferson received the Paul Sevlin Award.
“Even though this strike is over, the fight continues,” Goodman said as he and Keyser accepted their honor.
