Oscar 2017: La La Land, Arrival e Deadpool tra i nominati ai premi della Writers Guild of America!
Deadpool, La La Land, Moonlight e Arrival sono tra i nominati ai premi della Writers Guild of America
Al contrario di diversi premi di categoria, i premi della WGA fanno le stesse identiche distinzioni degli Oscar nel premiare le sceneggiature, dividendole in film originali e adattamenti (con l'aggiunta però dei documentari). Ricordiamo che i WGA tendono a essere dei forti indicatori per gli Oscar, soprattutto nell'assegnazione dei premi: l'anno scorso La Grande Scommessa e Spotlight vinsero i WGA e gli Oscar nelle rispettive categorie.
Tra le sorprese, la nomination a Deadpool come miglior adattamento: il film affianca pellicole come Hidden Figures, Animali Notturni, Barriere e il fantascientifico Arrival. Da notare però che film come Florence, Lion e Zootropolis non erano candidabili ai WGA ma potrebbero ricomparire agli Oscar, come giustamente fa notare Deadline.
