La Writers Guild of America , il sindacato sceneggiatori cinematografici e televisivi, ha svelato la candidature per l’anno 2019, suddividendo come da tradizione i lungometraggi in tre categorie: original, adapted e documentary.
Nonostante il Golden Globe vinto, non è presente tra le sceneggiature originali Quentin Tarantino, in quanto non eleggibile perché non facente parte del sindacato, mentre altre scritture come quelle di The Farewell e I due papi non sono riuscite ad entrare un po a sorpresa. Tra i titoli presenti, Storia di un matrimonio, Parasite, The Irishman, Joker e Piccole donne. Dopo i due Globe vinte la scorsa notte, continua l’ascesa di 1917, stavolta anche per la scrittura originale.
I vincitori verranno svelati in una cerimonia di premiazione attesa per sabato 1 febbraio al Beverly Hilton di Los Angeles.
