“The Holdovers” & “American Fiction” Win Big at the 2024 WGA Awards https://omgcheckitout.com/the-holdovers-american-fiction-win-big-at-the-2024-wga-awards/ Tue, 16 Apr 2024 06:11:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=42071 The wait for the WGA Awards was pretty long after the ceremony was delayed in the face of the writers’ strike, but the list of winners is finally here. The Holdovers and American Fiction led the way in the movie categories, while Succession, The Bear, and Beef won big in the TV field.

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.

Season 3 & 4 of “The Bear” Are Reportedly Shooting Back-to-Back https://omgcheckitout.com/season-3-4-of-the-bear-are-reportedly-shooting-back-to-back/ Sun, 17 Mar 2024 06:48:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=41911 The time between two seasons of our favorite shows often feels like an eternity… but not if the show in question happens to be The Bear! FX did a great job fast-tracking this hit series, and they’ll continue this trend with its rumored Season 4, which is reportedly shooting back-to-back Season 3.

The Bear fans were in a panic mode for the past few days, after several local Chicago outlets reported that Christopher Storer committed to filming additional episodes, hinting that Season 3 would be the show’s last. Deadline was quick to dismiss these rumors and they claim that The Bear is far from reaching its curtain call.

According to Deadline’s recent report, Season 4 of the hit series is already in development and it’s shooting back-to-back with Season 3. This decision mimics FX’s strategy for Atlanta, which ended its run after the third and fourth seasons were shot back-to-back. Despite this connection, Deadline claims The Bear hasn’t been canceled, and Season 5 remains a possibility.

The Bear will return for its third season on FX and Hulu this June. Emmy-winning stars Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach lead its ensemble, while the supporting cast includes Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Matty Matheson.

2024 SAG Awards: “Oppenheimer” & “The Bear” Emerge as Top Winners https://omgcheckitout.com/2024-sag-awards-oppenheimer-the-bear-emerge-as-top-winners/ Mon, 26 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=41509 Oppenheimer and The Bear dominated several ceremonies this award season, and the Screen Actor Guild Awards were no exception. Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb epic and FX’s culinary dramedy were the biggest winners of the night at the SAG Awards on Saturday.

Oppenheimer came into the ceremony as one of the top contenders with four nominations and managed to take three trophies home. Most notably, it won the award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture, beating tough competition in American Fiction, Barbie, The Color Purple, and Killers of the Flower Moon.

Its star Cillian Murphy won the SAG Award for his lead performance, while Robert Downey Jr. continued his sweep in the best supporting actor field. Killers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone and The Holdovers’ Da’Vine Joy Randolph won trophies for the best leading and supporting actress, respectively.

When it comes to the TV categories, The Bear was the biggest winner of the night with three awards, including outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series, best actor (Jeremy Allen White), and best actress in a comedy series (Ayo Edebiri).

The drama field brought several shockers our way, with Succession’s Emmy winners Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook losing to Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) and Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown). The final season of HBO’s drama still managed to win the main award in this field – outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series.

The 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards took place at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles on February 24.

2024 WGA Awards: “Barbie”, “Oppenheimer”, & “The Bear” Among Nominees https://omgcheckitout.com/2024-wga-awards-barbie-oppenheimer-the-bear-among-nominees/ Thu, 22 Feb 2024 06:43:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=41485 The WGA Awards nominations have been significantly postponed due to labor disputes in Hollywood last year, but they’ve finally been announced. Barbie and Oppenheimer are among the top contenders, along with the acclaimed series The Bear and Succession.

Despite being categorized as the adapted screenplay at the Oscars, Barbie will be competing for the best original screenplay at the WGA Awards. Air, The Holdovers, May December, and Past Lives also made the cut in this field, edging out Anatomy of a Fall.

Oppenheimer is one of the contenders for the best adapted screenplay, but it will have to face tough competition in American Fiction, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret., Killers of the Flower Moon, and the surprise nominee Nyad. The Writers Guild is marching to the beat of its own drum this year, and only two of these nominees—American Fiction and Oppenheimer—are nominated in the same field at the Oscars.

As for the contenders on the TV side, the recent Emmy winners Succession and The Bear will come into the night with three nods each, including best drama series and best comedy series, respectively.

The WGA Awards winners will be announced on April 14, after the ceremony was pushed to spring in solidarity with last year’s writers’ strike.

“The Bear” Season 3 to Premiere in June as a Binge Drop https://omgcheckitout.com/the-bear-season-3-to-premiere-in-june-as-a-binge-drop/ Sat, 10 Feb 2024 06:21:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=41377 The Bear cast and crew are getting ready to cook up some magic in Season 3, and it won’t take too long to get a taste of the show’s next chapter. According to FX boss John Landgraf, the award-winning dramedy is returning this June and they’re planning to release it as a binge drop.

Despite the strike-related delays that pushed the release dates of several hit shows, The Bear didn’t suffer the same fate. Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edibiri, Ebo Moss-Bachrach, and the rest of the gang will be back on our screens this June, when all the episodes of the Emmy-winning series will hit the shelves at the same time.

FX boss John Landgraf admitted they’ve debated releasing The Bear episodes weekly, but decided against it. They eventually chose to stick to the binge-drop model because it didn’t make sense to change things up for the audience.

“It wasn’t lost on me or anyone else who worked on the show that it’s a little anxiety-inducing to watch that show… So we made a decision that we would drop the whole thing because, for those of you who saw it, it has a really beautiful, very uplifting ending,” said Landgraf during an executive session at TCA.

Shōgun came into this year’s Emmys with a total of 25 nods, including eight in the major categories. It collected 14 awards at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards a week prior, breaking the record previously held by John Adams, before winning four more awards at the main event for a total of 18.

“The Holdovers” & “American Fiction” Win Big at the 2024 WGA Awards https://omgcheckitout.com/the-holdovers-american-fiction-win-big-at-the-2024-wga-awards/ Tue, 16 Apr 2024 06:11:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=42071 The wait for the WGA Awards was pretty long after the ceremony was delayed in the face of the writers’ strike, but the list of winners is finally here. The Holdovers and American Fiction led the way in the movie categories, while Succession, The Bear, and Beef won big in the TV field.

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.

Season 3 & 4 of “The Bear” Are Reportedly Shooting Back-to-Back https://omgcheckitout.com/season-3-4-of-the-bear-are-reportedly-shooting-back-to-back/ Sun, 17 Mar 2024 06:48:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=41911 The time between two seasons of our favorite shows often feels like an eternity… but not if the show in question happens to be The Bear! FX did a great job fast-tracking this hit series, and they’ll continue this trend with its rumored Season 4, which is reportedly shooting back-to-back Season 3.

The Bear fans were in a panic mode for the past few days, after several local Chicago outlets reported that Christopher Storer committed to filming additional episodes, hinting that Season 3 would be the show’s last. Deadline was quick to dismiss these rumors and they claim that The Bear is far from reaching its curtain call.

According to Deadline’s recent report, Season 4 of the hit series is already in development and it’s shooting back-to-back with Season 3. This decision mimics FX’s strategy for Atlanta, which ended its run after the third and fourth seasons were shot back-to-back. Despite this connection, Deadline claims The Bear hasn’t been canceled, and Season 5 remains a possibility.

The Bear will return for its third season on FX and Hulu this June. Emmy-winning stars Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach lead its ensemble, while the supporting cast includes Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Matty Matheson.

2024 SAG Awards: “Oppenheimer” & “The Bear” Emerge as Top Winners https://omgcheckitout.com/2024-sag-awards-oppenheimer-the-bear-emerge-as-top-winners/ Mon, 26 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=41509 Oppenheimer and The Bear dominated several ceremonies this award season, and the Screen Actor Guild Awards were no exception. Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb epic and FX’s culinary dramedy were the biggest winners of the night at the SAG Awards on Saturday.

Oppenheimer came into the ceremony as one of the top contenders with four nominations and managed to take three trophies home. Most notably, it won the award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture, beating tough competition in American Fiction, Barbie, The Color Purple, and Killers of the Flower Moon.

Its star Cillian Murphy won the SAG Award for his lead performance, while Robert Downey Jr. continued his sweep in the best supporting actor field. Killers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone and The Holdovers’ Da’Vine Joy Randolph won trophies for the best leading and supporting actress, respectively.

When it comes to the TV categories, The Bear was the biggest winner of the night with three awards, including outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series, best actor (Jeremy Allen White), and best actress in a comedy series (Ayo Edebiri).

The drama field brought several shockers our way, with Succession’s Emmy winners Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook losing to Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) and Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown). The final season of HBO’s drama still managed to win the main award in this field – outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series.

The 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards took place at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles on February 24.

2024 WGA Awards: “Barbie”, “Oppenheimer”, & “The Bear” Among Nominees https://omgcheckitout.com/2024-wga-awards-barbie-oppenheimer-the-bear-among-nominees/ Thu, 22 Feb 2024 06:43:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=41485 The WGA Awards nominations have been significantly postponed due to labor disputes in Hollywood last year, but they’ve finally been announced. Barbie and Oppenheimer are among the top contenders, along with the acclaimed series The Bear and Succession.

Despite being categorized as the adapted screenplay at the Oscars, Barbie will be competing for the best original screenplay at the WGA Awards. Air, The Holdovers, May December, and Past Lives also made the cut in this field, edging out Anatomy of a Fall.

Oppenheimer is one of the contenders for the best adapted screenplay, but it will have to face tough competition in American Fiction, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret., Killers of the Flower Moon, and the surprise nominee Nyad. The Writers Guild is marching to the beat of its own drum this year, and only two of these nominees—American Fiction and Oppenheimer—are nominated in the same field at the Oscars.

As for the contenders on the TV side, the recent Emmy winners Succession and The Bear will come into the night with three nods each, including best drama series and best comedy series, respectively.

The WGA Awards winners will be announced on April 14, after the ceremony was pushed to spring in solidarity with last year’s writers’ strike.

“The Bear” Season 3 to Premiere in June as a Binge Drop https://omgcheckitout.com/the-bear-season-3-to-premiere-in-june-as-a-binge-drop/ Sat, 10 Feb 2024 06:21:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=41377 The Bear cast and crew are getting ready to cook up some magic in Season 3, and it won’t take too long to get a taste of the show’s next chapter. According to FX boss John Landgraf, the award-winning dramedy is returning this June and they’re planning to release it as a binge drop.

Despite the strike-related delays that pushed the release dates of several hit shows, The Bear didn’t suffer the same fate. Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edibiri, Ebo Moss-Bachrach, and the rest of the gang will be back on our screens this June, when all the episodes of the Emmy-winning series will hit the shelves at the same time.

FX boss John Landgraf admitted they’ve debated releasing The Bear episodes weekly, but decided against it. They eventually chose to stick to the binge-drop model because it didn’t make sense to change things up for the audience.

“It wasn’t lost on me or anyone else who worked on the show that it’s a little anxiety-inducing to watch that show… So we made a decision that we would drop the whole thing because, for those of you who saw it, it has a really beautiful, very uplifting ending,” said Landgraf during an executive session at TCA.
