People barely had enough time to get home with their Golden Globes and try to get their fancy dresses off before the Writers Guild of America released the nominations for this year’s film awards. Last night’s Best Drama winner, 1917, got a nod for screenwriters Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns, as did critical favorites like Marriage Story, Parasite, and Little Women, but there are also a few very buzzy films missing from the list. Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was not eligible for a nomination, since he never joined the WGA, and neither The Farewell nor Pain and Glory were eligible for recognition. Here is the full list of nominees for Best Original, Adapted, and Documentary Screenplays.
