David Hemingson’s The Holdovers at Focus Features won original screenplay and Cord Jefferson’s Oscar-winning American Fiction from Amazon MGM Studios took adapted honours at the strike-delayed Writers Guild Awards on Sunday.

This was a second major adapted screenplay award in relatively short order for Jefferson after last month’s Oscar win.

The Holdovers prevailed in an original screenplay category that included Barbie and May December, but not the Oscar winner Anatomy Of A Fall, rendered ineligible here because it was not produced under a Writers Guild of America (WGA) contract.

The best documentary screenplay award went to Errol Morris for The Pigeon Tunnel.

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) stretched out the awards season, handing out their annual awards during ceremonies held in Los Angeles and New York on April 14, 2024. Niecy Nash-Betts (Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story) had the honor of hosting the Writers Guild of America West’s ceremony while Josh Gondelman (Desus & Mero) handled hosting duties for the Writers Guild of America East.

The final season of Succession was recognized with Drama Series and Episodic Drama awards, and the first season of The Last of Us snagged the New Series trophy. The Bear and Beef continued their winning streaks, scoring Comedy Series and Limited Series wins.

With the 2024 Oscars and the 2023 Emmys firmly in the rearview mirror, the film and TV awards calendar is all but ready to return to normalcy after last years Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes disrupted the first half of award season. The last major event to be impacted by the altered schedule is today’s WGA Awards, which took place in an unusual post-Oscars slot after the strikes forced the guild to delay its voting process. As most of Hollywood looks ahead to the 2024 film and TV slate, today’s concurrent ceremonies in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium and New York City’s Edison Ballroom gave award watchers one last chance to celebrate the best screenwriting of 2023.

David Hemingson’s “The Holdovers” won the night’s marquee award for Original Screenplay, beating out heavyweights including Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach’s “Barbie” and Celine Song’s “Past Lives.” In the Adapted Screenplay category,...

The David Hemingson-scripted Alexander Payne dramedy The Holdovers and Cord Jefferson’s American Fiction were the big film winners at the strike-delayed 2024 Writers Guild Awards, which were handed out Sunday in Los Angeles and New York.

Jefferson — who also was honored with the WGA West’s Paul Selvin Award — followed his Oscar win for Adapted Screenplay as the WGA’s weird, wild and elongated Awards season wrapped with simultaneous ceremonies on both coasts. Hemingson scored a modicum of revenge for losing the Original Screenplay Academy Award to Justine Triet and Arthur Harari for Anatomy of a Fall.

The latter script, however, wasn’t eligible for a Writers Guild Award. That’s because, unlike other guilds, the WGA deems ineligible any scripts for movies not produced under its Minimum Basic Agreement or a bona fide collective bargaining agreement with various affiliated countries.

Later, the Documentary prize went to Errol Morris...

Nominees have been announced for the 76th annual Writers Guild Awards, and Star Trek: Picard squeaked in just under the wire.

The concluded Paramount+ quasi-revival saw its series finale nominated in the Episodic Drama category. Other first-time nominees include freshman shows Shrinking, The Last of Us, The Curse and The Diplomat.

The strike-delayed nominations for the 2024 Writers Guild Awards are out. Check out the list below.

In a flipping of the script this season, the WGA Awards will be held on April 14 – more than a month after the Academy Awards.

As always, the Writers Guild of America has different eligibility requirements than the Movie Academy, so some awards-season favorite scripts are missing from today’s nominations.

The guild and the Oscars mostly are on the same page for Original Screenplay, with both nominating The Holdovers, May December and Past Lives.

The nominees for the 2024 Writers Guild of America Awards are finally here.

The Writers Guild of America West (Wgaw) and Writers Guild of America East (Wgae) have announced nominations for outstanding achievement in screenwriting, television, new media, news, radio/audio, and promotional writing for 2023.

Oscar-nominated screenplays for “Barbie,” “The Holdovers,” “May December,” “Past Lives,” “American Fiction,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and “Oppenheimer” were expected WGA nominations. However, surprise nods for “Air,” “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret,” and “Nyad” prove the WGA Awards still have a few tricks up their sleeve. If you’re wondering, “Poor Things” was not eligible because it wasn’t produced under a WGA contract, per a source close to the project.

Despite now taking place one month after the Academy Awards, the WGA nominations still carry weight this season — and could be a deciding factor for final Oscar voting. As IndieWire’s Anne Thompson predicted,...

Air is the surprise among the original contenders and takes its place alongside Past Lives. Barbie earned an Oscar nod in the adapted screenplay category.

Human Resources is an adult animated series created by Jennifer Flackett, Kelly Galuska, Andrew Goldberg, Nick Kroll and Mark Levin.

From the “wicked” world of Big Mouth comes the second season of this very badass series that turns this (professional) mischief into something fun, at least for a few minutes. Whether one gets tired of it or not is up to the viewer.

Human Resources

Absurd and crude, great in some of its dialogues, reflective… Human Resources continues with its tone of ludicrous parody that mixes The Office with Big Mouth itself and that, yes, manages to amuse in a South Park style, with that humor that you either love or hate but that, at least, has the honesty to try, in its provocative style, many times, just for the sake of it.

And other times, perhaps not by chance, in that provocation it finds the perfect formula to tell us something totally coherent.

The Hormone Monsters are coming back for more this summer as "Human Resources" season 2 is debuting very soon on Netflix. The "Big Mouth" spin-off is returning for another round of filthy, animated shenanigans next month, and we've got a brand new trailer to get fans hyped for what's to come. It's dirty, inappropriate, and actually has a touch of sweetness to it. But mostly filthy, let's be clear.

The series was created by the all-star team of Kelly Galuska, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, Jennifer Flackett, and Nick Kroll. Meanwhile, the flagship series "Big Mouth" is set to end with season 8 on Netflix, but the spin-off lives on for at least one more season, even as the main show is bringing it in for a landing. Though it will conclude its run as Netflix's longest-running scripted series ever, which is no small thing. But let's not get too ahead of ourselves or off-topic here.

Your hormone monster would like a word with you.

Florence Pugh, Miley Cyrus, Eugene Levy and Isabella Rossellini will guest star in the Season 2 of Netflix’s bawdy animated series “Human Resources,” the show that follows Netflix’s equally raunchy adult animation series “Big Mouth.” The new season has 10 episodes and is set to premiere on June 9.

“Human Resources” follows the creatures that help people through the awkward journey of puberty and the hard life of parenthood. Even as they assist their human clients, the hormone monsters, depression kitties, shame wizards and other creatures lead hilarious lives of their own, both in and out of the office.

Season 2 will also star Sam Richardson, Niecy Nash-Betts and Jason Mantzoukas along with returning guest stars Hugh Jackman, Pamela Adlon, Rosie Perez, Henry Winkler, Thandiwe Newton, Jemaine Clement, Maria Bamford, Bobby Cannavale and Cole Escola. Series regulars include Nick Kroll, Maya Rudolph, Aidy Bryant,...

Human resources is a workplace comedy set in the world of the monsters from Big Mouth.

Created by Jennifer Flackett, Kelly Galuska , Andrew Goldberg , Nick Kroll and Mark Levin and directed by Henrique Jardim, Bryan Francis and Alex Salyer.

Where to Watch Human Resources

Hollywood writers picketing to preserve pay and job security outside major studios and streamers braced for a long fight at the outset of a strike that immediately forced late-night shows into hiatus, put other productions on pause and had the entire industry slowing its roll.

The first Hollywood strike in 15 years commenced Tuesday as the 11,500 members of the Writers Guild of America stopped working when their contract expired.

The union is seeking higher minimum pay, more writers per show and less exclusivity on single projects, among other demands — all conditions it says have been diminished in the content boom of the streaming era.

“Everything’s changed, but the money has changed in the wrong direction,” said Kelly Galuska, 39, a writer for “ The Bear ” on FX and “Big Mouth” on Netflix, who picketed at Fox Studios in Los Angeles with her 3-week-old daughter. “It’s a turning point in the industry right now.

Netflix © 2023 From the inventive minds that brought us the award winning adult animation favorite Big Mouth comes the even edgier and adult-ier Human Resources. The spin-off pulls back the curtain on the daily lives of the creatures – Hormone Monsters, Depression Kitties, Shame Wizards and many more – that help humans journey through every aspect of life from puberty to parenthood to the twilight years. It quickly becomes clear that though the protagonists are creatures, they have a lot of humanity themselves. Featuring an all-star voice cast – including Nick Kroll, Maya Rudolph and David Thewlis reprising their Big Mouth roles as well as Aidy Bryant, Brandon Kyle Goodman, Keke Palmer, and Randall Park among others – Human Resources is not your normal day at the office.

"Human Resources," the "Big Mouth" spin-off show that centers around the Hormone Monsters, Shame Wizards, and Depression Kitties that dominate humans' brains, will soon be back for a second season and appears to be continuing in its tradition of having A-list talent voicing some of the office's emotional and/or hormonal denizens.

The first season featured Helen Mirren as a Shame Lizard, no less, and Hugh Jackman as Dante, a sexy Addiction Angel. If this teaser is any indication, season 2 will see the return of Jackman as Dante. Jackman's return, however, isn't the only thing this teaser is promising -- at least two other big names will be featured in the upcoming episodes as well.

Puberty can only last so long.

“Big Mouth” has been renewed for Season 8 at Netflix, which will be the animated comedy’s final installation. Additionally, “Big Mouth” spinoff “Human Resources” will end with its previously greenlit second season.

This makes “Big Mouth” Netflix’s longest running original series, excluding kids and family programming. Previously, “Grace and Frankie” and “Orange Is the New Black” shared that title with seven seasons each.

Inspired by the childhoods of co-creators Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg, “Big Mouth” follows a group of friends and their hormone monsters as they navigate adolescence, human sexuality and coming of age. Kroll starred alongside John Mulaney, Jessi Klein, Jason Mantzoukas and Ayo Edebiri (whose role was originally played by Jenny Slate). Season 6 debuted in 2022, while Season 7 will come in 2023 and 2024.

“Human Resources” is set in the world of the hormone monsters from “Big Mouth,” where different monsters are assigned to govern human emotions.

Exclusive: Mentorship Matters, an initiative aimed at boosting opportunities for emerging writers of color, has announced 25 writer mentees for its 2023 program, along with participating showrunner/executive producers.

Now in its second year, Mentorship Matters was developed by showrunners committed to using their positions to advocate for and help create opportunities for writers of color. With sponsorship from Amazon and AMC Networks, the program includes a year of consistent, in-depth mentorship and creative advocacy from a committed showrunner. It also includes guidance with developing and polishing an original writing sample along with panels and seminars with high-level industry professionals. Each mentee will be paired with a participating showrunner/executive producer mentor.

In the program’s inaugural year, 14 out of 23 mentees found representation, 8 were staffed on shows including Billions (Showtime), Criminal Minds: Evolution (Paramount+), Walker: Independence (The CW), and The Power (Amazon), and 1 signed an overall deal with Sony TV Studios.

Showrunners...

Coming off of her work on Big Mouth, showrunner Kelly Galuska knew that creating the monsters would be the most important part of Human Resources. From Emmy the Lovebug (Aidy Bryant) to Petra the Ambition Goblin (Rosie Perez), Galuska and her team of writers had their work cut out for them.

Human Resources follows the world of monsters associated with human emotions introduced in Netflix’s other adult animated sitcom, Big Mouth. The workplace comedy involves monsters assigned to adults as the representations of their feelings, like the Lovebugs, Logic Rocks, Hormone Monsters, and Ambition Goblins. The penultimate episode of the season, “It’s Almost Over”, follows Yara (Nidah Barber), an ailing grandmother with Alzheimer’s, as Walter the Lovebug (Brandon Kyle Goodman) comes to terms with the loss.

Netflix’s Big Mouth spinoff sees the animated universe’s emotional monsters in a workplace setting as they manage the human “clients” to which they’re assigned. While Big Mouth centers on the nightmares of puberty, Human Resources tackles the complete human life span from birth to death — and this scene delves into the latter, with Amir and daughter Natalie facing the loss of Amir’s mother, Yara. Also at Yara’s deathbed is her lovebug Walter, the personification of that emotion. Showrunner Kelly Galuska notes how the scene balances the emotional weight and the irreverent comedy at the show’s core.

“We really wanted the show to be about the human experience entirely,” Galuska says. While the Hr offices are in the tristate area, it was important to Galuska that the show depict “how people do things in other parts of the world.

The popular animated comedy series Big Mouth and its spinoff Human Resources have been renewed at Netflix for a seventh and second season, respectively. Creators Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett made the announcement during the shows’ FYC Emmy panel at NeueHouse Hollywood in Los Angeles on Monday night. Human Resources co-creator Kelly Galuska was also in attendance, alongside Randall Park, who voices Peter “Pete” Doheny in the spinoff series. Big Mouth debuted on September 29, 2017, and received widespread critical acclaim. The half-hour adult animation follows real-life best friends Nick (Kroll) and Andrew (John Mulaney) as they deal with the glorious nightmare that is teenage puberty. A fifth season was released on November 5, 2021, with Season 6 set to premiere later this year. The spinoff series Human Resources debuted on March 18, 2022, and also received high praise from critics. It is a workplace comedy revolving around the monsters from Big Mouth,...

“Big Mouth” and “Human Resources” still have some growing up to do. The Netflix animated comedies have been renewed for additional seasons, the streamer announced Monday.

“Big Mouth” has been renewed through Season 7, with Season 6 premiering later this year. Freshman show “Human Resources” has also been renewed for a second season. The news of the renewals came during the shows’ FYC Emmy panel at NeueHouse Hollywood in Los Angeles. In attendance were the shows’ executive producers Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, Jennifer Flackett and Kelly Galuska, along with Randall Park, who stars in “Human Resources.”

Created by Kroll, Goldberg, Levin and Flackett in 2017, “Big Mouth” focuses on a group of friends in middle school struggling with the changes puberty has brought to their lives. One of the show’s central conceits is the existence of “hormone monsters,” which act as representations for the various emotions the preteens experience during puberty.

Netflix tonight announced that it has renewed its animated series Big Mouth for a seventh season, and will bring back its spinoff Human Resources for a second. The former series will be back with new episodes later this year.

Big Mouth is a half-hour adult animated comedy series from creators Jennifer Flackett, Andrew Goldberg and Nick Kroll, which watches as teenage friends find their lives upended by the wonders and horrors of puberty. Its series regulars are Kroll, John Mulaney, Maya Rudolph, Jason Mantzoukas, Jordan Peele, Fred Armisen, Ayo Edebiri and Jessi Klein.

Human Resources pulls back the curtain on the daily lives of the creatures—Hormone Monsters, Depression Kitties, Shame Wizards and many more—that help humans journey through every aspect of life from puberty to parenthood to the twilight years. Though the protagonists are creatures, they have a lot of humanity themselves. The spinoff’s second season will see all series regulars returning,...

1. “Bridgerton” Season 2 (available March 25)

Why Should I Watch? Shondaland’s hit period drama returns in March with a second season focused on Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), the eldest of the high-society family’s offspring, who’s searching for his ideal partner. But Anthony’s idea of the perfect bride has little to do with true love, even though his standards remain astronomically high, so when he sets his sights on Edwina (Charithra Chandran), her sister Kate (Simone Ashley) does everything she can to nix the ill-fated romance. Get ready for a heated love triangle sure to set fire to a few of fancy gowns.

Bonus Reason: “Bridgerton” was nominated for 12 Emmys in its first well-received season, and Netflix reported the hourlong soap netted enough viewers to rank as the streamer’s second most-watched series of all time. Still, questions linger about the show’s long-term viability. Breakout star Regé-Jean Page...

Hugh Jackman voices the tattooed and pierced Dante, a “seductive Addiction Angel” making time with Aidy Bryant’s Emmy the Lovebug in “Human Resources,” the edgier spinoff of Netflix’s “Big Mouth.” Netflix shared the first trailer on Tuesday for the series, which debuts March 18.

Like “Big Mouth,” which features teenagers and their assigned “hormone monsters,” the series is about adults who get the often unwelcome guardian angel treatment from various non-human wizards.

The trailer also introduces us to Helen Mirren as “renowned Shame Wizard Rita St. Swithens,” Lupita Nyong’o as Asha the Shame Wizard, Chris O’Dowd as Flanny the Lovebug and Harvey Guillén as Jose the Spider Receptionist and human characters voiced by Ali Wong, Janelle Monáe, Mike Birbiglia and Tim Robinson.

The official synopsis: “From the inventive minds that brought us the award winning adult animation favorite ‘Big Mouth’ comes the even edgier and adult-ier ‘Human Resources’ The...

Get ready to feel every emotion in the book — but mostly horny and ashamed — because Netflix has finally set a premiere date for its long-awaited Big Mouth spinoff.

Human Resources, which promises to “pull back the curtain on the daily lives of the creatures” that guide us through adolescence and beyond, will drop its entire first season on Friday, March 18.

Lizzy Caplan, Christian Slater and Clark Duke are set to lead the cast of Netflix’s adult animated conspiracy theory comedy series Inside Job, from Gravity Falls writer Shion Takeuchi and creator Alex Hirsch. Takeuchi and Hirsch revealed the cast today during Netflix’s Adult Animation Studio Focus at the Annecy Animation Festival, which also includes Andrew Daly (Veep), Bobby Lee (MadTV), John Dimaggio (Futurama), Tisha Campbell (Empire) and Brett Gelman (Stranger Thigns).

Inside Job is an adult animated comedy about the shadow government – and the dysfunctional team whose daily grind is committing the world’s conspiracies. From convoluted coverups to secret societies to masked orgy etiquette, navigating office culture at Cognito Inc. can be tricky, especially for anti-social tech genius Reagan Ridley. Even in a workplace filled with reptilian shapeshifters and psychic mushrooms, she’s seen as the odd one out for believing the world could be a better place.

Ahead of streaming a pre-recorded Studio Focus presentation as part of this year’s hybrid Annecy Animation Film Festival, Netflix has shared with Variety that “Big Mouth” stars Nick Kroll and Maya Rudolph will be joined by a star-studded lineup of new and returning voice talent in “Human Resources,” the upcoming series spinoff series of the Primetime Emmy-winning cartoon.

Franchise newcomers include “Saturday Night Live” alum Aidy Bryant, “WandaVision” and “Fresh Off the Boat” star Randall Park and Keke Palmer, who have joined the “Human Resources” cast as series regulars. Meanwhile, the Shame Wizard voice actor David Thewlis will feature heavily in the new series, as will “Big Mouth” season four writer Brandon Kyle Goodman (“Feel the Beat”), who steps up to the mic for the spinoff.

Exclusive: Mentorship Matters, an initiative aimed at boosting opportunities for emerging writers of color, has been officially unveiled, along with the participants in its inaugural 2021-22 cycle.

Developed by executive producers/showrunners, including Aaron Rahsaan Thomas (S.W.A.T.), Raelle Tucker, Gianna Sobol (Counterpart) and Melinda Hsu Taylor with sponsorship by AMC Networks, Amazon, The Walter Kaitz Foundation and Sony Pictures Entertainment, the year-long mentorship program provides consistent, in-depth mentorship and creative advocacy from a committed showrunner. The first set of pairings will connect 23 leading showrunners with promising mentees to foster growth and build invaluable industry contacts.

The program includes meeting at least monthly in addition to offering guidance with developing and polishing an original writing sample, panels and seminars with high-level industry professionals, and opportunities to meet agents, managers, and executives.

Mentees were selected from over 1,200 applicants throughout the U.S., with varying experiences and backgrounds.

Last summer, Netflix comedy Big Mouth proved a change leader in the world of animation, following its decision to recast a key voice role, for the sake of more authentic representation. In June, actress Jenny Slate announced that she would be stepping back from voicing the half-Black, half-Jewish character known as Missy, and two months later, it was revealed that Ayo Edebiri would be taking over the part.

On Saturday, co-creator-EPs Mark Levin, Andrew Goldberg, and Jennifer Flackett, and Co-ep Kelly Galuska appeared for a virtual panel, as part of the USC Comedy Festival, discussing their time with the show, and how the recasting of Missy came about.

“It’s very complex, actually, because over the course of several seasons, Missy, as a mixed-race character, has been growing,” Levin said, “and [a lot of that] has been driven by the Black writers on our staff.”

Throughout production on the show’s first four seasons,...

There’s never been a show like “BoJack Horseman.” The Netflix series, which took its final bow on January 31, defied easy categorization from day one with its anthropomorphic reimagining of Hollywoo(d), sharp turns into existential melancholy, cutting jokes, and embrace of all things strange and poignant. It told the interweaving stories of five lost souls — BoJack (Will Arnett), Diane (Alison Brie), Princess Carolyn (Amy Sedaris), Mr. Peanutbutter (Paul F. Tompkins) and Todd (Aaron Paul) — and the many lives they touched. By its bittersweet end, “BoJack Horseman” represented the best and most ambitious of this decade in television, taking apart timely issues and its characters’ innermost demons with the kind of consideration that remains all too rare.

After writing about “BoJack Horseman” since its beginning, I chose 10 episodes I felt show the series at its best and most representative, and asked creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg to walk me through the process of making them.

Netflix has ordered Human Resources, a spinoff of its animated series Big Mouth that will cover the professional lives of monsters.

If two (soon to be three) seasons of Big Mouth on Netflix have proved nothing else, it's that being a Hormone Monster is hard work. Now viewers will get a deeper look at the noble child shepherding profession.

Netflix has ordered Human Resources, a spinoff of Big Mouth that will take place in the corporate world of the various monsters (mostly of the Hormone variety) that populate the world of the original series. The announcement was made from the Big Mouth season 3 panel at New York Comic Con.

Netflix also provided a short, helpful look at the series, which seems to feature the same animation style as Big Mouth.

Human Resources: We manage people. The next great animated series from the creators of @bigmouth. Coming soon.

The world of Big Mouth is opening wider. As announced Thursday during the show’s panel at New York Comic Con, Netflix has ordered a new animated series titled Human Resources, “a workplace comedy set in the world of the monsters from … Big Mouth.”

For the uninitiated, Big Mouth — which returns for its third season on Friday — follows a group of hormonal youngsters as they navigate the most confusing time in anyone’s life: puberty. For better or worse, their feelings manifest as interloping monsters, resulting in ludicrous characters like the Hormone Monster, the Depression Kitty and even the Shame Wizard.

The team behind “Big Mouth” is doing another animated show for Netflix.

Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, Jennifer Flackett and Kelly Galuska are now working on the show “Human Resources” for the streamer, which is described as a workplace comedy set in the world of the monsters from “Big Mouth.” All five will serve as creators and executive producers on the new series. The announcement was made Thursday at New York Comic-Con.

The series falls under the overall deal that Kroll, Goldberg, Levin and Flackett recently signed with Netflix through their newly formed company, Brutus Pink. Under the deal, Brutus Pink will create a variety of animated projects for Netflix, including both film and television.

The overall deal was announced back in July as part of a massive three-season renewal for “Big Mouth” that will keep the popular series on the air through its sixth season. “Big Mouth” is...

The creators of Big Mouth have set their next series at Netflix. The Internet TV network has ordered Human Resources, an animated workplace comedy from Big Mouth creators Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett, and producer Kelly Galuska. The new series was just announced at New York Comic Con.

No details about the storyline were released other than the series is a workplace comedy set in the world of the monsters from Big Mouth. A preview clip was unveiled with only the title Human Resources: We manage people. You can watch it below.

Kroll, Goldberg, Levin, Flackett and Galuska will serve as creators and executive producers.

The series order comes on the heels of Netflix’s announcement of a mega three-season renewal of adult animated comedy Big Mouth, part of a deal Netflix signed with Brutus Pink, the new animation production company launched by Kroll, Goldberg, Levin and Flackett.

Netflix has picked up a new spinoff of “Big Mouth,” which delves into the world of the monsters from the animated comedy, the streaming service announced on Thursday.

The workplace comedy, titled “Human Resources,” was announced at “Big Mouth’s” New York Comic-Con panel with a video teaser.

The short clip shows a variety of monsters in workplace attire under a banner reading “Human Resources: We manage people.”

The creative team behind Big Mouth is adding another series to their Netflix docket.
