WGA Awards: Grown Ups Has a Better Shot Than The King's Speech
The Writer's Guild of America has released the list of eligible screenplays for their annual awards. Traditionally, these awards have been strong predictors for the Oscars, with winners for both original and adapted screenplays matching up eleven of the last sixteen years. But this year, there are a few noteworthy omissions including The King's Speech and Toy Story 3. But don't worry, Grown Ups is here! Between this and the list of eligible Best Picture films, maybe Armond White should start spearheading a last-minute, Hail Mary campaign for the film, Harvey Weinstein-style.
To be eligible the Writers Guild of America requires that screenplays be produced under WGA jurisdiction and formally submitted for consideration.
