Woody Allen’s romantic fantasy 'Midnight In Paris' and Alexander Payne’s family drama 'The Descendants' won top screenplay honours from the Writers Guild of America.
Writer-director Allen earned the guild’s prize for original screenplay for the film – his biggest hit in decades – which stars Owen Wilson as a modern Hollywood writer who gets a chance to hang out with his literary idols in the 1920s Paris of Hemingway and Fitzgerald.
Director Payne shared the adapted screenplay honour with co-writers Nat Faxon and Jim Rash.
Based on the novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings, 'The Descendants' stars George Clooney as a Hawaiian father struggling to tend to his two daughters after a boating accident puts his wife in a coma.
