Writers Guild Awards 2020, le nomination: Quentin Tarantino ineleggibile

Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) e Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) hanno annunciato ufficialmente i film che sono stati nominati per le migliori sceneggiature del 2019. I vincitori saranno presentati nel corso dei 72esimi Writers Guild Awards il 1 febbraio, con due simultanee cerimonie tra Los Angeles e New York City.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood di Quentin Tarantino è stato escluso dalle nomination insieme a Dolor y Gloria di Pedro Almodóvar e The Farewell di Lulu Wang, a causa delle regole WGA. Tarantino si rifiutò di entrare nella WGA dopo una lontana disputa su un credit per il film di Oliver Stone Natural Born Killers, nel 1994. Chi non rientra nella WGA, neanche a dirlo, non può essere nominato. Tutto ciò, ovviamente, non influirà in alcun modo la corsa agli Oscar delle tre pellicole.

Tra i candidati ‘originali’ troviamo 1917 di Sam Mendes, Parasite di Bong Joon-Ho, Knives Out di Rian Johnson, Marriage Story di Noah Baumbach e Booksmart di Emily Halpern & Sarah Haskins, Susanna Fogel e Katie Silberman. Tra gli script non originali, The Irishman, Little Women, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, JoJo Rabbit e Joker.

Lo scorso anno vinsero Eighth Grade e Can You Ever Forgive Me?, nessuno dei due poi premio Oscar (andati a Green Book e BlacKkKlansman).
