With 115 Writers Guild of America staffers still on strike after months of contract talks with the writers’ union led to no deal, the WGA West has cancelled its annual Writers Guild Awards.

Union president Michele Mulroney informed presenters scheduled to appear at the March 8 ceremony at the JW Marriott Hotel of the cancellation in a memo Sunday morning. This past Tuesday, the Writers Guild Staff Union revealed in an Instagram post that the guild had refused to bargain further on its first union contract and warned them that the awards ceremony would be cancelled if the WGSU did not agree to the previous contract offer by Friday.

The Writers Guild of America East will continue its own awards ceremony in New York.
