‘Judas And The Black Messiah,’ ‘Palm Springs,’ ‘Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,’ And More Land 2021 WGA Nominations

First up, here are the nominations for original screenplay.

All in all, this is a pretty solid line-up. It’s nice to see Palm Springs getting awards season attention, and while I have issues with Trial of the Chicago 7, Aaron Sorkin’s writing remains punchy and snappy enough to warrant consideration.

Now, let’s move on to adapted screenplay, shall we?

Okay, I’m just going to say it – it’s weird that Borat landed a screenplay nomination. Obviously, the movie involves heavily scripted elements, but it just seems…odd to me. I’m also incredibly disappointed that I’m Thinking of Ending Things didn’t earn a nomination, as I consider it to be a stellar adaptation. In fact, I think it’s even better than the book it was based on.

Finally, here are the nominees for documentary screenplay.

I actually haven’t seen any of these docs, so I can’t really comment! But good job, everyone! You did it!

The WGA winners will be revealed on March 21, 2021.
