The post “The Holdovers” & “American Fiction” Win Big at the 2024 WGA Awards appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>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.

]]>The post Season 3 & 4 of “The Bear” Are Reportedly Shooting Back-to-Back appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>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.

]]>The post 2024 SAG Awards: “Oppenheimer” & “The Bear” Emerge as Top Winners appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>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 post 2024 WGA Awards: “Barbie”, “Oppenheimer”, & “The Bear” Among Nominees appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>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.

]]>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.

He added they’re proud to gather this community of artists together to celebrate their extraordinary contributions in a private ceremony that will take place at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on January 12, 2024.
Oppenheimer and Barbie, two films that found groundbreaking success at the summer box office after sparking the global phenomenon known as Barbenheimer, will be two of the films acknowledged by AFI, along with Killers of the Flower Moon, Past Lives, and Poor Things.
When it comes to the television field, Emmy front-runners Succession and The Bear are among this year’s honorees. The list also includes several rookie shows that knocked us off our feet with their first seasons, including Beef, Jury Duty, The Last of Us, and Poker Face.

]]>The first season of The Bear centered on the young chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, who left the world of fine dining behind to run the rundown Chicago sandwich shop after his brother’s death. The second season switched up the premise and showed Carmy and his crew trying to change their restaurant from the ground up and reopen it as a fine dining establishment.
Jeremy Allen White led the ensemble cast of The Bear, alongside Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Matty Matheson. He already won several accolades for his performance, including the SAG Award and Golden Globe.
Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment, confirmed the show’s renewal in a statement and said they’re looking forward to the next chapter in the story of The Bear.
“We’re so proud to partner with Christopher Storer, Joanna Calo, Josh Senior, and the rest of the creative team, as well as the brilliant cast led by Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. What they and the crew have done is truly remarkable,” said Grad.

]]>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.

]]>The post Season 3 & 4 of “The Bear” Are Reportedly Shooting Back-to-Back appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>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.

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.

]]>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.

]]>The first season of The Bear centered on the young chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, who left the world of fine dining behind to run the rundown Chicago sandwich shop after his brother’s death. The second season switched up the premise and showed Carmy and his crew trying to change their restaurant from the ground up and reopen it as a fine dining establishment.
Jeremy Allen White led the ensemble cast of The Bear, alongside Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Matty Matheson. He already won several accolades for his performance, including the SAG Award and Golden Globe.
Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment, confirmed the show’s renewal in a statement and said they’re looking forward to the next chapter in the story of The Bear.
“We’re so proud to partner with Christopher Storer, Joanna Calo, Josh Senior, and the rest of the creative team, as well as the brilliant cast led by Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. What they and the crew have done is truly remarkable,” said Grad.
