The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has revealed its nominations for Adapted and Original Screenplay for films of 2018.
Included in Adapted were BlacKkKlansman, Black Panther, Can You Ever Forgive Me? If Beale Street Could Talkand A Star Is Born. Because of strict guild rules, screenplays like The Sisters Brothers and Leave No Trace were ineligible.
On the Original side we have Eighth Grade, Green Book, A Quiet Place, ROMA and Vice. Many films wound up ineligible here including Sorry to Bother You, Hereditary and The Favourite.
Across studios, Annapurna Pictures was the only to score more than a single nom; it earned three.
On the Television side we have The Americans, Better Call Saul, Succession, GLOW, The Good Place, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and more among the nominees. New Series nominations went to Barry, The Haunting of Hill House, Homecoming, Pose and Succession.
