The awards season continued on Sunday with the very first bicoastal Writers’ Guild awards, presented by newly appointed WGA member Kal Penn. “I am so proud to have presented the first WGA ceremony to be co-hosted by both the Writers ‘Guild East and the Writers’ Guild West,” he said in his monologue. ‘We put the two shows together, because despite all our differences, the one thing we can agree on is: the world does not need another extra awards show. So, instead of more than one series, we just thought it would be more efficient to combine it into one. Who says we are against packaging? ”
