The 75th annual Writers Guild Awards were handed out on Sunday in concurrent ceremonies at the Edison Ballroom in New York and Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
2023 Spirit Awards: Complete Winners List
Launch List
Severance took home the prize for best new series, beating out fellow first-time nominees such as Bad Sisters, Andor and Abbott Elementary. The Apple TV+ series also won for best drama, with FX’s The Bear winning in comedy.
Meanwhile, individual episode honors went to AMC’s Better Call Saul, HBO Max’s Hacks and Prime Video’s Undone.
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.
