First Showing
It's a big week for awards news now that the season of accolades is in full swing. This week we've already gotten the Producers Guild Awards nominees, and this morning the American Society of Cinematographers announced their nominations for the best cinematography. Now it's the Writers Guild of America (WGA) announcing their nominations for screenwriting. Last year's winners included Her, Captain Phillips and Stories We Tell, and this year there's an eclectic list of nominees including Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel, Damien Chazelle's Whiplash and even Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. No joke.
The 66th Writers Guild of America Awards honored the best film, television, radio and video game writers of the year 2013. Winners of the awards were announced at the JW Marriot hotel in the L.A Live entertainment complex on February 1, 2014. Spike Jonze’s “Her” and Billy Ray’s “Captain Phillips” were honored for their writing.
