New Girl celeb Zooey Deschanel co-hosted the 2012 Writers Guild Awards in Los Angeles Sunday night. She teamed up with comedian Joel McHale to honor the best film, television, radio and videogame writers of 2011.
During her opening remarks, Deschanel said, “Welcome to Nerd Prom. Male writers, you are so hot with your minds and plaid shirts. Hit on me.”
The actress was sporting her own vintage plaid gown that could well be described as off-beat.
Winners included Woody Allen for Midnight in Paris, and a long list of writers from The Descendants, Breaking Bad, Modern Family and Homeland. Full list here.
Among the actresses hitting the red carpet were Lisa Kudrow, Amy Poehler, Amanda Peet, Ahna O’Reilly and Octavia Spencer.
