I WGA Awards, o Writers Guild Awards, sono premi annuali assegnati dalla Writers Guild of America, una delle principali organizzazioni sindacali che rappresentano gli sceneggiatori in campo cinematografico, televisivo, radiofonico e digitale negli Stati Uniti. I premi vengono conferiti per riconoscere l'eccellenza nel campo della scrittura, con categorie che includono sceneggiature per film, serie televisive, programmi televisivi, documentari e videogiochi. I WGA Awards sono considerati prestigiosi nel settore della scrittura e sono spesso un indicatore importante per le nomine e le vittorie agli Oscar e agli Emmy.
La cerimonia del 2024, tenutasi in due sedi, sia sulla West Coast che sulla East Coast, ha visto primeggiare alcuni dei più acclamati show e film dell'anno.
Tra i grandi vincitori della serata spicca Succession, la serie drammatica di HBO che ha conquistato due prestigiosi premi: miglior serie drammatica e miglior episodio drammatico. Il creatore Jesse Armstrong ha ricevuto il riconoscimento a New York, mentre gli sceneggiatori erano presenti a Los Angeles, aggiungendo un tocco finale di gloria alla conclusione della serie lo scorso maggio.
Ma non è stato solo Succession a brillare durante la cerimonia. Cord Jefferson è stato celebrato per la sua eccezionale sceneggiatura adattata in American Fiction, portando a casa il premio WGA e ricevendo anche il prestigioso Paul Sevlin Award. Netflix ha fatto la sua parte, accumulando tre premi, confermando il suo ruolo di protagonista nell'industria dello streaming.
La serata ha visto anche alcune sorprese, come la vittoria di I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson di Netflix nella categoria serie comica/sketch, battendo il più consolidato Saturday Night Live. Questo dimostra ancora una volta l'importanza di rimanere al passo con l'evoluzione del panorama televisivo.
Beef di Netflix ha vinto il premio per la migliore miniserie, mentre HBO ha conquistato il titolo per la migliore nuova serie con The Last of Us.
