Writers Guild of America baru saja selesai melaksanakan acara penganugerahan Writers Guild Awards. Acara yang dipandu oleh aktor Nathan Fillion ini memunculkan nama Mark Boal (Zero Dark Thirty) dan Chris Terrio (Argo) sebagai pemenang utama acara penghargaan ini. Dengan kemenangan Argo, itu berarti film arahan Ben Affleck ini menyapu bersih semua penghargaan dari serikat pekerja utama dunia film Amerika Serikat setelah sebelumnya Argo memenangkan Producers Guild Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, dan Directors Guild Awards. Kemenangan ini tentu memperbesar kans Argo di ajang Oscar baik untuk kategori naskahnya sendiri maupun kategori Best Picture; terlebih Argo baru saja memenangkan Eddie Awards dari American Cinema Editors.
Berikut adalah daftar lengkap pemenang WGA Awards untuk kategori Feature Film dan sebagian penghargaan untuk Televisi.
