The ceremony was hosted by the famous actress Zooey Deschanel in the company of Joel McHale.
The romantic comedy Midnight in Paris, which won the most prestigious "Original Screenplay" nomination, tells the story of a successful Hollywood writer who travels with his fiancée to Paris and lives the unrealizable dream of the "golden age" of the 1920s in France. Recall that in one of the episodic roles, Allen persuaded the first lady of France to star, Carla Bruni.
Opening the Cannes Film Festival last year, Midnight in Paris became Allen's highest-grossing film, grossing $ 148 million worldwide on a budget of $ 17 million. The film entered the Oscar shortlist and was nominated for BAFTA, Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Prize, but still has not received any awards.
In the nomination "Adapted Screenplay" the best was the drama "Descendants" by Alexander Payne, which tells about the attempt of a wealthy landowner to find a common language with his daughters after an accident with his wife. By the way, the film starring George Clooney has already won almost 40 different awards.
The best comedy series from a script point of view was considered "American Family", which is running for the fourth season, for the best TV movie was awarded to Davil Zeltser, who wrote the script for the documentary film about the filming of "American Family" called "Cinema-Believe", which was released on the HBO channel, and the best new series - "Alien Among Friends".
