WGA Awards 2026: Sinners and One Battle After Another Lead Screenwriting Wins
At the 2026 WGA Awards, One Battle After Another won Adapted Screenplay and Sinners won Original Screenplay, as New York hosted the East Coast ceremony with Roy Wood Jr. presenting; the event served as one of the last major precursors before the Oscars, with Adapted nominations closely mirroring the Academy Awards and Original overlap limited to two titles. The WGA West ceremony was canceled due to a strike, and honorary awards were given to Stephen Colbert, Terry George, and Diana Son, with a full slate of winners and nominees across drama, comedy, animation, and documentary categories.
