2024 Writers Guild of America (WGA) Awards: ‘American Fiction,’ ‘The Holdovers,’ ‘Succession’ are Top Winners
Trailer was great but still think you guys are overstimeting La La Land. Its going to be nominated but 4th?
1. “Silence”
2. “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk”
3. “Birth of a Nation”
4. “Loving”
5. “Manchester by the Sea”
6. “Fences”
7. “Arrival”
8. “Sully”
9. “La La Land”
10. “Moonlight”
It’s high but with the date change and opening Venice (and likely hitting Telluride and TIFF) it puts the film in a very good place.
Ay and look at it now
I think you should delete from “Other contenders” list films like American Pastoral and Bleed for this b/c they were panned by critics. Instead i would add Florence Foster Jenkins
It’s time to recognize Hacksaw Ridge possibility in this category…
