Awards Season 2016: Writers' Guild Awards Nominations


Today saw the nominations announced for this year's Writers' Guild Awards. As I've previously said, I don't tend to focus on the screenplay Oscars (certainly not to the same degree as the acting and directing ones; I certainly wouldn't attempt to predict what would get nominated), but- as a writer and a film fan- I do have an interest in what's been nominated. 

This year's nominations are as follows:


ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
Bridge Of Spies
Sicario
Spotlight
Straight Outta Compton
Trainwreck

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
The Big Short
Carol
The Martian
Steve Jobs
Trumbo

DOCUMENTARY SCREENPLAY
Being Canadian
Going Clear: Scientology And The Prison Of Belief
Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck
Prophet's Pray

There are several films that were not eligible for consideration due to guild rules, so films like The Hateful Eight, Inside Out, Suffragette, Ex Machina, Mad Max: Fury Road, Room, The Danish Girl and Brooklyn were not able to be considered. 

More awards nonsense on Friday (8th February) with the BAFTA Film nominations.
