Individual episode awards went to Better Call Saul on AMC, Hacks on HBO Max, and Undone on Prime Video. This year's WGA Awards are happening as the guild is talking about going on strike for the first time since 2007-08. Since its current contract ends on May 1, the WGA is trying to get its members more money from streaming and higher minimum pay rates.
