WGA Awards: Nominations List 2023 — Writers Guild of America



Nominees have been announced for the 75th annual Writers Guild Awards, to be held on Sunday, March 5 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

In addition to usual suspects like Better Call Saul, The Crown, Hacks and Barry, this year’s nominees include first-time contenders such as Andor, Severance, Yellowjackets, Abbott Elementary and The Bear.

This year’s WGA Awards come amid rumblings of the guild’s first possible strike action since 2007-08. With its current contract expiring on May 1, the WGA is angling to secure increased streaming residuals as well as higher minimum pay rates for its members.
