Homeland scored an early victory at the Writers Guild Of America (WGA) Awards. The awards show, one of the final ceremonies before the Oscars, honours the best writing in television and film each year. Host Chelsea Peretti opened the show by taking aim at nominee Bradley Cooper, poking fun at him for his comments about dreaming of A Star Is Born before writing it. The marquee prize of the night, outstanding original screenplay, includes nominations for Roma, Green Book and Vice, which are all nominated in the same category at the Oscars. A Quiet Place and Eighth Grade complete the films in contention at the WGA Awards.
