]]>The Holdovers failed to take the prize for the best original screenplay at the Academy Awards, but it had better luck at the WGA Awards. It defeated tough competition in Air, Barbie, May December, and Past Lives to win the trophy for the best original screenplay.
Cord Jefferson’s American Fiction collected a trophy for the best adapted screenplay, after coming out victorious in the same category at the Oscars. The list of contenders in this field also included Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, Killers of the Flower Moon, Nyad, and Oppenheimer.
As for the winners in the TV categories, things were pretty easy to predict this time around. The final season of Succession collected another trophy for the best drama series, The Bear won the best comedy series award, while Beef was named the best limited series.
The WGA Awards were held on April 14, after their date was moved by several months due to last year’s writers’ strike.

]]>Eilish started teasing her new album with a series of billboards featuring the lyrics from different songs. She then added all of her Instagram followers to her “Close Friends” list and used the stories to drop hints about her next project.
This strategy earned her millions of new followers, and it eventually culminated in the album announcement. She shared the cover of her next LP Hit Me Hard and Soft, which sees her floating underwater, and announced it will be released on May 17.
In an official statement announcing its release, Eilish described Hit Me Hard and Soft as her most daring body of work to date, adding it offers “a diverse yet cohesive collection of songs, ideally listened to in its entirety from beginning to end.”
2024 has been a pretty busy year for Eilish, even before the album announcement. She collected several awards alongside her brother Finneas O’Connell for their Barbie song “What Was I Made For?”, including their second Oscar for best original song.

ABC is now looking into signing new deals with the show’s ensemble cast since most of their contracts are up this season. Chandra Wilson, James Pickens, Jr., Kevin McKidd, Caterina Scorsone, Camilla Luddington, and Kim Raver led Season 20, while the former leading lady Ellen Pompeo joined them as a supporting player and the show’s executive producer.
Meg Marinis is returning as the showrunner, and she was feeling optimistic about its future long before ABC officially announced its renewal.
“We still have stories to tell. We receive a tremendous amount of support from the studio and the network and from Shondaland. So I’m going to keep going until they tell me to put that pen down,” said Marinis ahead of Season 20 premiere.

Lipa also revealed she was exploring the music history of psychedelia, trip-hop, and Britpop while working on this album, and they served as her main inspiration because she’s always been drawn to their confident optimism.
