Post subject: | WGA Eligibity Update |
Films not eligible for original screenplay: The Artist, Beginners, The Iron Lady, The Lady, Like Crazy, Margin Call, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Melancholia, Rango, Take Shelter Films not eligible for adapted screenplay: Albert Nobbs, Carnage, Drive, Jane Eyre, My Week with Marilyn, Sarah's Key, Shame, The Skin I Live In, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/in-contenti ... rs-for-wga So this means Midnight in Paris is pretty much a lock to win original screenplay here and The Descendants should win adapted. |

Ugh, this is so lame when they do this every year. ![]() Oh, and what is Shame based on? I was under the impression it's an original screenplay. |

I don't get why some of these were eliminated for these categories. Is Martha Marcy May Marlene based on a true story or something? I'm sure things like that have happened, yes, but to my knowledge the screenplay is an original. |

The writer(s) must not be part of the WGA. |

So....basically if your script is adapted from another medium, it is not eligable. And...if you're play is remotely based off something else, then it is not eligable from original? |

It's my understanding this has nothing to do with the content the screenplays themselves and everything to do with whether the writers are WGA members or not. |
