The Writer’s Guild Association of America have announced their list of Nominees for the 2008 Awards (My picks are in red):
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
Diablo Cody – “Juno”
Tony Gilroy – “Michael Clayton”
Tamara Jenkins – “The Savages”
Judd Apatow – “Knocked Up”
Nancy Oliver – “Lars and the Real Girl.”
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
Ethan and Joel Coen – “No Country for Old Men”
Paul Thomas Anderson – “There Will Be Blood”
Ronald Harwood – “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”
Sean Penn – “Into the Wild”
James Vanderbilt – “Zodiac.”
Animation continues to get snubbed by almost all the associations. Where is Ratatouille??? I’d also would have liked to have seen 3:10 To Yuma on there, but over all I can’t complain about the list of nominees. It’s nice to see “Lars and the Real Girl” getting some recognition too.
