Writer's Guild Award Nominations

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

• Black Swan- Mark Heyman, Andres Heinz, John MacLauglin
• The Fighter- Scott Silver, Paul Tamasy, Eric Johnson, Keith Dorrington
• Inception- Christopher Nolan
• The Kids Are All Right- Lisa Cholodenko, Stuart Blumberg
• Please Give- Nicole Holofcener

 ineligible: The King's Speech, Another Year, Blue Valentine, Biutiful

The delightful and totally awardable Please Give was the beneficiary of all the ineligible products, I'd expect that and possibly Black Swan to be snubbed by Oscar in favor of The King's Speech and Another Year.

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY

• 127 Hours- Danny Boyle, Simon Beaufoy
• I Love You, Phillip Morris- John Requa, Glenn Ficarra
• The Social Network- Aaron Sorkin
• The Town- Peter Craig, Ben Affleck, Aaron Stockard
• True Grit- Ethan Coen, Joel Coen

ineligible: Winter's Bone, Toy Story 3, The Ghost Writer, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
snubbed: Rabbit Hole, which is getting an unfair break these days; the film is good folks!

I Love You, Phillip Morris is the only Oh-My-God! surprise from the WGA, but it's wacky inclusion will not be taken seriously by the Academy what with the dense crop of films ineligible this year.
