"Sinners" wins big at WGA

"Sinners" win marks a major victory for indie film, as it beat out several big-budget studio productions for the award. The film, written and directed by newcomer Anya Petrova, tells the story of a group of disillusioned teenagers in a small Rust Belt town. Petrova's win is particularly significant, as she is only the second woman to win the WGA for Best Original Screenplay in the last decade. Her acceptance speech called for greater diversity and inclusion in the film industry. "The Pitt"'s sweep included awards for Best Drama Series, Best Comedy Series, and Best New Series. The show, a dark comedy about a struggling minor league hockey team, has been praised for its sharp writing and ensemble cast.
