At the Writers Guild Awards on Saturday, WGA Picket Perfect Attendance Award winner and SNL head writer Seth Meyers was sighted clean-shaven. What about the strike beard? From The Envelope Blog of The Los Angeles Times:

''What prompted the dramatic gesture, which was on full display at the WGA awards in Manhattan that evening?

'''Confidence,' Meyers said. 'Confidence that this might soon be over.'''

The Writers Guild Awards for outstanding achievement in writing for screen, television, documentary, radio, promotion, and videogames during 2007 celebrated their 60th Anniversary on Saturday night.

''One difference from last year's ceremony, noted Meyers: 'We have an open bar. All the drinks are free and, we apologize for this, you will have to watch a 30-second ad.'''

Also attending the ceremony Saturday night at the Hudson Theater in Manhattan were 30 Rock creator Tina Fey (Who won a WGA Award in the Comedy Series category), Colbert Report writer Tom Purcell (who won a WGA Award in the Comedy/Variety (Including Talk) Series category), WGA East President Michael Winship, SNL's Rachel Dratch, and 88-year old WGA East Evelyn F. Burkey Award winner Walter Bernstein.
