Recieving the WGAE’s Ian McLellan Hunter Award for Career Achievement, Andor writer Tony Gilroy briefly discussed his time in the galaxy far, far away and it would appear that his years spent in the GFFA are as meaningful to him – and he has an enviable resume – as anything he’s ever done.

Tony Gilroy just received the WGAE’s Ian McLellan Hunter Award for Career Achievement. The award is presented to a WGAE member in honor of their body of work as a writer in motion pictures or television, and describing Tony’s resume as deserving is a severe understatement!
