Congratulations to our User rooch for an astonishing score of 90% when predicting the 2019 Writers Guild Awards winners on Sunday. He is just ahead of msubio at 80% and has a great point score total of 6,673 by using the 500 super bets wisely.
Almost 1,400 people worldwide predicted these three film and seven TV winners in a total of 10 categories chosen by WGA voters. The two ceremonies were held in Los Angeles (hosted by Chelsea Peretti) and New York City (hosted by Roy Wood, Jr.). Film winners were “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” and “Eighth Grade,” which were both surprisingly correct picks by our top User. TV winners included “Assassination of Gianni Versace,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “The Americans” and “Barry.”
