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.

The Independent Spirit Awards are Hollywood’s biggest celebration of indie cinema, and they returned to Santa Monica on Sunday night. Past Lives walked away with the coveted best feature award, while The Holdovers was the most decorated film of the night with three trophies.

Past Lives faced tough competition in All of Us Strangers, American Fiction, May December, Passages, and We Grown Now, but it managed to beat them all to win the best feature trophy. Celine Song also won an award for directing this film, beating the seasoned directors Todd Haynes and Ira Sachs.

The Holdovers was also one of the biggest winners of the night with a total of three awards. Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Dominic Sessa won awards for best supporting and best breakthrough performance, respectively, while Eigil Bryld collected the trophy for best cinematography.

It was also a night to remember for the team behind American Fiction, which was honored with two awards: best lead performance (Jeffrey Wright) and best screenplay (Cord Jefferson).

Beef was one of the biggest winners of the night on the TV side with two awards, including best new scripted series and best lead performance (Ali Wong). The Last of Us also won two trophies, thanks to the amazing performances by its guest stars Nick Offerman and Keivonn Montreal Woodard.

The 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards took place at the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California on February 25, with Aidy Bryant hosting the show.
