WGA Nominations

Finally, the WGA has posted its nods. I am thrilled that I got the Please Give nod correctly, but who saw the I Love Phillip Morris nod coming? I guess that is what happens when you deem so many scripts ineligible. When it comes to Oscar nods though, the surprise will probably end as Winter's Bone and Toy Story 3 enter the race. In terms of the Original Category, The King's Speech will most likely take out Please Give, and Another Year could sneak in, but at this point, I think it has lost too much steam to even get what used to be an assured screenplay nod.
