The cool thing about the Writers Guild Awards is that it really honors the movies and the shows that everyday people root for and enjoy.

For proof, just look at this year’s new series winner, Showtime’s “Homeland.” This is a highly-rated show that the SAG Awards omitted just last month but the WGA celebrated Sunday night in Hollywood.

Other winners of note include Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris” for best original screenplay and “The Descendants” for best adapted screenplay.

ABC’s “General Hospital” won the Writers Guild Award for best daytime drama. After the win, one of the soap’s writers, Karen Harris, came back stage where reporters asked her about the future of “General Hospital.”

It is ABC’s last soap. But Harris said she’s not too concerned that Katie Couric’s talk show will take over the soap’s timeslot, leading to cancelation.

‘”The Revolution” (which replaced “One Life to Live”) has tanked and its our hope that Katie Couric’s show will replace it,” Harris said. “I mean you hear rumors but we haven’t been canceled.”

“The Revolution” has only drawn 1.52 million viewers, which is 43 percent less than what “One Life to Live” averaged.
