James Ivory and Jordan Peele were the major winners at tonight's Writers Guild
Awards, in ceremonies that took place in New York City and Beverly Hills.
Both Mr. Ivory and Mr. Peele were first-time winners of WGA Awards (for "Call Me
By Your Name" and "Get Out" respectively.)
Both screenplay writers are now shoo-ins for Oscars in their categories next
month. Neither has won an Oscar. Mr. Ivory has been nominated for an
Oscar three previous times.
Many other WGA awards were presented tonight -- and within the next hour or so
the full list of winners will be linked to
here.
But this Sunday night undoubtedly was a big night for Mr. Ivory and Mr. Peele, the latter of whom has
additional momentum coming off his Directors Guild Of America Awards win for
first-time feature directing earlier this month. That "Get Out" is still
on many peoples' minds 50 weeks after its initial theatrical release may help
the film in three weeks' time, when "Get Out" will be more than a year old.
The 90th Academy Awards are at grave risk at becoming predictable. The
Oscars take place on Sunday, March 4 in Los Angeles.
James Ivory, who won the WGA Award for adapted screenplay
tonight for "Call
Me By Your Name".
