Sono state annunciate pochi giorni fa tutte le nominations della Writers Guild of America, il sindacato degli sceneggiatori, la cui premiazione si terrà il 19 febbraio.
C’è da segnalare come la WGA faccia le stesse distinzioni degli Oscar nell’assegnare i premi per la miglior sceneggiatura, dividendone in film originali e adattamenti e di come essi siano dei forti influenzatori per gli Oscar stessi: in genere i vincitori corrispondono anche ai vincitori degli Oscar nelle medesime categorie.
Scorrendo le nomination possiamo notare come oltre ai soliti noti Manchester By the Sea, La La Land e Moonlight siano presenti anche sorprese quali: Loving e Hell or High Water per le sceneggiature originali e Deadpool per miglior adattamento.
