SEE WGA Awards nominations: Who’s in, who’s out, who wasn’t eligible?
The 75th Writers Guild of America Awards are one of the last guild stops of Oscar season, potentially providing clarity on two of the closest Oscar contests, Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay. However, the WGA imposes rigid rules on eligibility, stipulating that only members can compete, rendering numerous Oscar contenders ineligible every year. This year those ruled ineligible include the original scripts for “The Banshees of Inisherin” and “Triangle of Sadness” plus the adaptations of “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “Living.”
The Original Screenplay frontrunner “Everything Everywhere All at Once” is in contention for this guild award as are two of its Oscar rivals: “The Fabelmans” and “Tar.” The WGA race is rounded out by the scripts for “The Menu” and “Nope.” Likewise our predicted winner for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars (“Women Talking”) is vying for this award too. It faces off against a pair of Oscar nominees: “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” plus “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and “She Said.”
