Writers Guild Of America has announced its feature nominees and the roster includes The Holdovers, May December and Barbie for original screenplay and American Fiction, Oppenheimer and Killers Of The Flower Moon in the adapted category.
Air is the surprise among the original contenders and takes its place alongside Past Lives. Barbie earned an Oscar nod in the adapted screenplay category.
Anatomy Of A Fall was ineligible as it was not produced under a WGA contract. Justine Triet’s film, like Maestro, which was not in Wednesday’s announcement, earned an Oscar nod.
Competing for the adapted screenplay prize are Killers Of The Flower Moon as well as surprise picks Nyad and Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. Oscar-nominated Poor Things was ineligible because it was not produced under a WGA contract.
Vying for documentary honours are Bella!, It Ain’t Over, The Pigeon Tunnel, Stamped From The Beginning, and What The Hell Happened To Blood, Sweat & Tears?.
Winners will be honoured at the strike-delayed 76th annual Writers Guild Awards ceremony on April 14 taking place after the Oscars, which traditionally signals the end of awards season and is set for March 10.
Simultaneous ceremonies for the WGA West and East chapters will take place at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles and the Edison Ballroom in New York City.
