WGA branches not all together

From a Times staff writer

The two branches of the Writers Guild of America are united in their strike against the TV networks and movie studios. When it comes to their award dinner next month, not so much.

After the union unveiled nominations Thursday for its annual awards for best script-writing, the West Coast branch said that, although the winners will be announced Feb. 9, the dinner and show at which they are celebrated was being postponed until after the strike is over.

The East Coast branch, meanwhile, said Friday that it hadn’t decided whether to go ahead with its corresponding event in New York on Feb. 9.
