WGA Rules Out Potential Oscar Nominees ‘Anatomy Of A Fall’, ‘Poor Things’, ‘Zone Of Interest’, ‘All Of Us Strangers’, Places ‘Barbie’ In Original Screenplay On Ballot
EXCLUSIVE: Oscar nominations will be announced Tuesday morning and expected to be strong contenders in the Screenplay categories are Golden Globe winner and BAFTA nominee Anatomy Of A Fall in Origi…
They have all been ruled ineligible at WGA which opened voting for its members today, sending each a list of eligible films (as well as TV series). A major contender, Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach’s Barbie is an original at the WGA, BAFTA (where it is nominated) and Critics Choice (where it won), while the Academy’s Writers Branch Executive Committee has deemed it, due in part to the existing Mattel toy line of characters, an adaptation, so should it not make the cut with Adapted Screenplay Oscar nominations tomorrow, Barbie could still make the cut at WGA as an Original Screenplay in a month. Other screenplays from acclaimed 2023 movies that will not be allowed to be considered by WGA members (I am one) on their ballot are Originals Fallen Leaves, The Boy And The Heron, The Teacher’s Lounge, Memory, Fingernails, and Sundance winner A Thousand And One to name a few.
