WGA says kudos mishap won't happen again

Sunday's Writers Guild Awards, as you probably know by now, were undermined by the announcement of several winners on the East Coast – including both feature screenplay honors – an hour or so before they were revealed on the West Coast. At best, this was just as uncoordinated as Sheldon Cooper playing basketball – at worst, it was the WGA East thumbing its nose at the WGA West.

Dave McNary of Variety reports on the dust-up today, getting public assurances that there was "no disrespect intended" and that the parties intend to "work something out." 

People at the ceremony in Los Angeles generally took the spoiled results in stride, but it was not to see it as disappointing and embarrassing.
