The 2013 Writers Guild Awards
[Lena Dunham] [Gina Gershon]

Other details: At last night's Writers Guild Awards - East,
Lisa Lampanelli lambasted the radio industry,
Lena Dunham carried on
Nora Ephron's leading lady legacy, and
Mike Birbiglia treated losing nominees to Reese's Pieces. Unlike its awards season counterparts, the WGA celebrated not only well-known winners -
Louis C.K. and
Fred Armisen among them - but also those who write life into beloved television series and films (and video games, radio shows, and web series, for that matter). And a room comprised of writers rooms is not something to be written off.
