In the run-up to this weekend’s Oscars, the 69th Writers Guild of America Awards which honors the best in film, television, radio and video-game writing recently took place at simultaneous ceremonies both in California and in New York. But it wouldn’t be an awards show if President Donald Trump wasn’t the unseen star, with the new administration the target of numerous jokes and commentary from winners and presenters in New York and L.A. In New York, host Lewis Black kicked the night off by praising writers for being able to handle more criticism and judgment than Trump could handle. Black also referenced Trump’s wild, anti-media press conference on Thursday, saying that in watching it, his brain froze for an hour and a half. While ‘Moonlight’, ‘Arrival’, ‘The Americans’, among a few others took home top awards, prizes were equally awarded for the small screen, as well such as ‘The People vs O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story’
