WGA Supports "Monster's" Writes
Try a Monster's Ball game: The melodramatic interracial romance, starring Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton, picked up a nomination Thursday for Best Screenplay, joining a handful of Oscar favorites (and a couple underdogs) in the race for top honors from Hollywood's writers.
Monster's Ball, written by Milo Addica and Will Rokos, was nominated alongside Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson's quirky ensemble film The Royal Tenenbaums, Joel and Ethan Coen's noirish tale The Man Who Wasn't There, Baz Luhrmann and Craig Pearce's eye-popping Moulin Rouge and Julian Fellowes' English whodunit, Gosford Park.
For Best Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published, Akiva Goldsman scored for his take on Sylvia Nasar's book A Beautiful Mind; Ken Nolan was nominated for his adaptation of Mark Bowden's gripping reportage Black Hawk Down; Helen Fielding, Andrew Davies and Richard Curtis grabbed a nod for Fielding's novel Bridget Jones's Diary; Daniel Clowes and Terry Zwigoff scored for Clowes' comic book Ghost World; and Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens and Peter Jackson picked up a nomination for The Lord of the Rings--a book written by some guy named J.R.R. Tolkien.
Winners for 54th Annual Writers Guild Awards will be announced March 2, and Thursday's nominations mark the last major awards news before Oscar nominees are announced February 12.
But two of the most heavily awarded films for best screenplay aren't on the WGA's shortlist. In the Bedroom, written by Rob Festinger and director Todd Field, and Memento, written and directed by Christopher Nolan, were disqualified from WGA Awards contention because neither film was a WGA signatory, "and they did not have the protections of our contract," a guild spokeswoman said.
It's unclear how that will affect either film's chances for an Oscar--after all, both films have already been singled out by several critics groups. But their disappearance did clear the way for under-the-radar candidates like Monster's Ball and The Royal Tenenbaums to score screenplay nominations.
