WGA Awards 2013: ARGO And ZERO DARK THIRTY Among Winners

Nick Martin February 19, 2013 Add a Comment
Mark Boal - WGA 2013 Last night was the Writers Guild Awards (WGA), the last major guild award before the Oscars. Zero Dark Thirty and Argo took home the original and adapted screenplay awards, while over on the TV side, AMC's ‘Breaking Bad' and FX's ‘Louie' took home awards for best drama and comedy series. Mark Boal‘s screenplay for Zero Dark Thirty won best original category over Flight, Looper, The Master and Moonrise Kingdom. Chris Terrio‘s adaptation of Argo took adapted screenplay over Perks of Being a Wallflower, Life of Pi, Lincoln and Silver Linings Playbook. Boal said in his acceptance:
It's a unique thing to be honored by your peers. Kathryn (Bigelow), you took this script and made it live, breathe and fly.
A visibly nervous Terrio said in his acceptance that when he began work on Argo five years ago, he had deflated on his student loan:
I had my specs and Writers Guild card; I can't tell you how that propped me up.
Results based on voting by the 12,000 WGA members were announced first in New York ceremonies at BB Kings, an hour before they were announced at the Los Angeles ceremonies at LA Live. Amour, Beasts of the Southern Wild and Django Unchained were not nominated here since they were not written under jurisdiction of the WGA or another writers guild.
