It marked the second time in three years the Bryan Cranston starrer paired both drama titles. The show beat out "The Good Wife", "Homeland", "House of Cards" and "Mad Men" for the Drama Series award.

Netflix's "House of Cards" didn't come home empty handed as it won over "The Americans", "Masters of Sex", "Orange is the New Black" and "Ray Donovan" in New Series category.

"30 Rock", which also aired its final episode last year, scored a win in Episodic Comedy category, while "Veep" nabbed the Comedy Series prize. Other winners included "The Colbert Report" (Comedy / Variety - Series) and "Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight" (Long Form - Adapted).

The WGA Awards, including those for movies, were handed out in simultaneous ceremonies at the JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE and at the Edison Ballroom, New York. Brad Garrett hosted the event on the West Coast, while Colin Quinn hosted the event on the East Coast.
