Re: WGA Nominees! Cool to see a nod for Phillip Morris! Didn't think it'd be recognized anywhere.
These add NOTHING to the state of the race, though as Another Year, The King's Speech, Toy Story 3, Blue Valentine and Winter's Bone were not eligible anyway.
Inception will win Original and TSN Adapted.

Re: WGA Nominees! I could see either Black Swan or The Fighter wins original screenplay; TSN is locked for adapted though.
Inside Job appears to be a stronger contender than Waiting for Superman in the doc category.

Re: WGA Nominees! Please Give's good, but I wish Somewhere or Greenberg had been nominated for Original Screenplay here.

Do you see The Fighter/Black Swan ahead of Inception in the Screenplay category or was your statement about the films that could upset Inception? _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: WGA Nominees! It would be so bogus if Black Swan won a screenwriting award. Very cool film, but c'mon.

Re: WGA Nominees! BTW, it is sad that Four Lions didn't get a screenplay nod. One of the best screenplays of the year, dammit.

Inception is the frontrunner in the category, but I'm not yet convinced the film is in that strong a position. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office

Re: WGA Nominees! Sad thing is that even if Inception wins WGA it does not tell us how strong it is for the Oscar because The King's Speech was not eligible. If it does, however, lose here, I see no way for it to win at the Oscars.

It just ain't that good and at least it would make for an interesting category to watch considering you can pick like most of the winners in the big categories right now.

Re: WGA Winners! I'm a tiny bit surprised The Kids Are All Right didn't win.
Of course, none of this matters in terms of the Oscars. Sorkin has been a done deal for months, and The King's Speech obviously wasn't eligible here.

Re: WGA Winners! Probably because the writers aren't guild members.
