WRITERS GUILD AWARDS (WGA)
Long-time readers of the awards season nonsense on here will know that the screenplay categories are not ones that I try and guess nominees (or winners) for, but as a writer, I'm interested to see what's got the nod.

Due to how the Writers Guild of America works (where non-members are not permitted to be nominated for a WGA Award), there are several major films that were ineligible (but will be eligible for the Oscars): these include The Power Of The Dog, Belfast, Cyrano, The Lost Daughter, Parallel Mothers, Passing, and A Hero.
The Writers' Guild Awards will be handed out on Sunday 20th March.
Congratulations to all nominees!
Our next awards announcement is a week away, when the BAFTA Film Awards nominations are announced on Thursday February 3rd.
