The Writers Guild of America (WGA), both the West (WGAW) and East (WGAE), have announced nominations for outstanding achievement in writing.
Glaring omissions were Oscar frontrunners such as "The Artist" and "The Tree of Life." Because of some inane WGA laws where each film must be produced under the guild's jurisdiction to be submitted for consideration, many films were deemed ineligible for the WGA awards.
But have no fear, if you're for "The Artist" and "Tree of Life," last year, "The King's Speech" was not nominated for a WGA award but went on to win not only the Best Picture Oscar, but Best Original Screenplay as well.
But "Bridesmaids" is proving to be a strong contender having scored a nomination for Best Original Screenplay. And Steve Zaillian is also dancing for joy since he got two nods, one for "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and another for "Moneyball" (psst, I'm betting on "Moneyball" to win this category!).
We'll see if my prediction is right when the winners will be presented at the 2012 Writers Guild Awards on Sunday, February 19.
