The Holdovers yang disutradarai Alexander Payne dan American Fiction yang disutradarai Cord Jefferson menjadi pemenang terbesar di ajang Writers Guild Awards 2024 yang sempat tertunda akibat pemogokan, yang dibagikan pada Minggu di Los Angeles dan New York.
Cord Jefferson yang sebelumnya mendapat Oscar untuk Skenario Adaptasi Terbaik, kembali memperoleh penghargaan untuk Skenario Adaptasi Terbaik.

Kemudian, untuk Skenario Dokumenter Terbaik diberikan kepada Errol Morris untuk filmnya, The Pigeon Tunnel yang tayang di Apple TV.
Beralih ke layar kaca, Succession dari HBO, The Bear dari FX, dan Beef dari Netflix mendapatkan kemenangannya masing-masing untuk Serial Drama Terbaik, Serial Komedi Terbaik, dan Limited Series Terbaik. Semua serial ini sebelumnya meraih penghargaan dari Emmy, SAG Awards, Golden Globes, dan Critics Choice dalam beberapa bulan terakhir.
Succession juga meraih penghargaan untuk kategori Episodic Drama Terbaik untuk episode “Living+” setelah Poker Face yang tayang di saluran streaming Peacock, meraih penghargaan Episodic Comedy untuk episode “Escape From Shit Mountain.”
