The Writer’s Guild of America has decided to push back the 2024 Writers Guild Awards after the 96th Academy Awards, which usually signals the end of the Awards season. The Oscars will occur on March 10, while the 2024 edition of the Writers Guild Awards will take place on April 14.
The move was made to allow WGA members more time to submit their work for consideration in the wake of the writer’s strike, which was recently resolved at the beginning of October.
Below is the new timeline for the awards, per The Hollywood Reporter:
