Patton Oswalt has been tapped to host the West Coast version of the Writers Guild Awards on Saturday, Feb. 13, the guild announced Thursday.
“Even though I am unable to read or write, the fact that the WGAW wants me to host their awards show proves to me that the only thing bigger than the Guild’s scotch budget … is the size of their hearts,” said Oswalt in a statement.
Patton and co-writers Gerry Duggan, Wayne Federman and Erik Weiner received a Writers Guild Award nomination last year for co-writing the 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards show, which Oswalt also hosted.
Hugh Fink returns as Executive Producer of this year’s show.
