Note that the scripts for The Banshees of Inisherin and Triangle of Sadness — both of which are up for the Original Screenplay and Best Picture at the Oscars this month — are ineligible for consideration because of WGA rules, as are the Academy’s Adapted nominees All Quiet on the Western Front and Living. Such exclusions happen every year because WGA-eligible pics must have been written under the guild’s Minimum Basic Agreement or under a bona fide collective-bargaining agreement of various international WGA-affiliated organizations.

The WGA West will present honorary awards to Charlie Kaufman (Laurel Award for Screenwriting Achievement), screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz (Paul Selvin Award) and Yvette Lee Bowser (Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award). The WGA East will fete Spike Lee (Ian McLellan Hunter Award for Career Achievement).
This year’s WGA Awards come as the union and the industry brace for a potential writers strike against the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers. The sides will begin negotiations March 20, and their current three-year deal expires May 1.
Janelle James and Michelle Buteau are hosting the respective Los Angeles and New York events, which honor outstanding writing in film, television, new media, broadcast and digital news, radio/audio and promotional categories.
