Jordan Peele Directing Get Out - 2018 WGA Awards winner

The WGA Awards is a big win for Jordan Peele‘s Get Out. The first film for the new director has been making waves this award season, having earned nominations from the DGA, PGA, and SAG, plus the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. Now, Peele has been honored with a Writer’s Guild award for Original Screenplay for his screenplay for Get Out.

Meanwhile, Call Me By Your Name also earned top honors for Best Adaptive Screenplay, while The Handmaiden’s Tale, Big Little Lies, and Veep took home TV awards. Check out more about the winners here below.

Despite the multiple award nominations Get Out has been getting, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri has been taking home many SAGs, while The Shape Of Water has won PGAs and DGAs. Now that doesn’t mean Get Out is out of the picture, but taking home an WGA increases its potential to at least win the original screenplay Osar at the Academy Awards next month.
