To be eligible for the group’s annual awards, the Writers Guild of America requires that screenplays be produced under WGA jurisdiction and formally submitted for consideration. This year, 76 films qualified — 43 original screenplays and 33 adapted. A few of the quality scripts that didn’t meet the qualifications: Another Year, Biutiful, Blue Valentine, The Ghost Writer, The King’s Speech, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Toy Story 3, Winter’s Bone.
The WGA winners have been a reliable predictor of the Oscars: the winners have matched up 11 of the last 16 years in both the original and adapted categories. To my eyes, The King’s Speech is a lock for a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nomination and the favorite to win. So we’ll see how that relationship holds this year. Hit the jump for the full list of eligible screenplays.
The Last Song has been nominated in the Adapted Screenplay section.
