The Oscar race is reaching the home stretch: the awards were presented by the last of the major American film and television unions. The 72nd Annual Writers Guild of America Awards took place on the west and east coasts of the United States. The Society of Scriptwriters has two branches, so the ceremony is traditionally held simultaneously in Los Angeles and New York. Ana Gasteyer entertained the guests of the Western branch of the WGA, and John Fujeslang hosted the meeting in the east. The main film awards of the evening went to the authors of the films "Parasites" and "Jojo the Rabbit", which seriously increased the chances in the fight for the Oscar.
