While the West Coast branch of the Writers Guild of America has postponed its annual gala until the strike is settled, the East Coast branch said Friday it planned to hold an informal reception in New York on Feb. 9, when the winners of the union’s annual writing awards are announced.
“We have chosen to honor the nominees and recipients of our awards in the context of our ongoing strike against the studios and networks,” said Michael Winship, president of the WGA East. “This will be a simple event that will rally us together as a union.”
There will be no red carpet the event, and only award nominees, their guests and other guild members will be permitted to attend.
