Well, one of us is going to have to change. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt were a power couple in power suits on Sunday night at the 2019 Writers Guild Awards, both channeling 007 in black tuxedos for the guild's East Coast ceremony. Emily's single-breasted Dolce & Gabbana suit featured an oversized bowtie -- because if you're gonna rock a tux, you might as well do it big. She capped off the look with pointed Jimmy Choo heels. The two posed together on the red carpet before John, wearing a velvet jacket, gamely stepped aside to let his wife take the spotlight.

Presenters and honorees in New York included Jimmy Fallon, Kenan Thompson and Tony Shalhoub. The glitzy evening on both coasts, held at New York City's Edison Ballroom and LA's Beverly Hilton, honored the year's best in film and TV writing. Over in Los Angeles, top awards went to "Eighth Grade" writer-director Bo Burnham (Best Original Screenplay), "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" (Comedy Series), "The Americans" (Drama Series), and "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" (Adapted Screenplay). Burnham's unexpected win marked the first time in well over a decade that a WGA nominee has won Best Original Screenplay without being nominated for an Oscar. “To the other nominees in the category — have fun at the Oscars, losers," Burnham joked onstage.

Arts & Entertainment Writers Guild Awards 2019: Complete List Of Winners Bo Burnham won best original screenplay for his script for "Eighth Grade," even though he thought he had "zero chance" of winning. Reply BEVERLY HILLS, CA – Bo Burnham won the Writers Guild of America Award for best original screenplay for his script for "Eighth Grade" while Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty won for best adapted screenplay for "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" "To be recognized by the writers is just so, so flattering," Burnham told City News Service backstage at The Beverly Hilton during Sunday's ceremony. Burnham said he thought he had "zero chance" of winning the award because he was not nominated for the Oscar for best original screenplay. "I was very excited just to be nominated," Burnham said. The writing team for "A Quiet Place" – Bryan Woods & Scott Beck and John Krasinski – was also nominated for a WGA award, but not an Oscar. All of the other nominees received Oscar nominations – Alfonso Cuaron for "Roma"; Nick Vallelonga & Brian Currie & Peter Farrelly for "Green Book"; and Adam McKay for "Vice." "Eighth Grade" was the 28-year-old Burnham's first feature film as a writer and director Holofcener and Whitty won in a field that also included the writing teams behind "BlacKkKlansman," "Black Panther," "If Beale Street Could Talk" and "A Star is Born." Of those films, all but "Black Panther" are also nominated for the adapted-screenplay Oscar. "Black Panther" was replaced on the Oscar list by Joel and Ethan Coen for "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs."
