2013 Writers Guild Award Nominations: The Full List
The nominations for the 2013 WGA Awards have been announced, and films starring such Wetpaint faves as Jennifer Lawrence, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Emma Watson are all in the mix!
Nominations for the Writers Guild Awards have been announced in three film categories — Original, Adapted, and Documentary Screenplay — and it's safe to say that these choices may provide a window into which screenplays will be nominated for Oscars when the Academy Award nominations are announced on January 10.
Last year, both screenplays that won WGA awards — Midnight in Paris for Best Original, The Descendants for Best Adapted — went on to win the same award on Oscar night. Not a bad track record!
Here is the complete list of nominees, courtesy of Deadline. Were your favorite films mentioned?
