The Writers Guild Awards nominees for screenplay writing were announced Monday on the heels of the Golden Globe Awards.
The original screenplay category includes A24's "Eighth Grade," Universal's "Green Book," Paramount's "A Quiet Place," Netflix's "Roma" and Annapurna Pictures' "Vice."
The adapted screenplay category includes Focus Features' "BlacKkKlansman," Disney's "Black Panther," Fox Searchlight's "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" Annapurna Pictures' "If Beale Street Could Talk" and Warner Bros.' "A Star Is Born."
The awards historically have significant overlap with Oscar nominees in the screenplay categories, and last year's winners _ "Get Out" in original screenplay and "Call Me by Your Name" in adapted screenplay _ went on to win Oscars as well.
One quirk of the guild nominations is that films can be deemed ineligible if they do not adhere to certain guild rules. The Golden Globe-nominated script for Fox Searchlight's "The Favourite" was the top contender to be left out of consideration this year. Other ineligible screenplays included "Sorry to Bother You," "Leave No Trace," "Shoplifters" and "Incredibles 2."
The 2019 Writers Guild Awards will be held Feb. 17 at concurrent ceremonies in Los Angeles and New York.
