The WGA nominations are huge indicators of the Best Original and Adapted Screenplay nominations for this year's Oscar ceremony, and over the past few years, the Writer's Guild has been obsessed with superhero movies.
Deadpool secured a nomination in 2016, while
Guardians of the Galaxy achieved a nomination in the past half-decade as well. But it is worth noting that only
Logan has been a constant in both the Writer's Guild and the Academy's picks. The question is - on which side will
Black Panther fall?
Yesterday, the WGA nominations were announced, for Best Adapted Screenplay, their list is as follows:
-
BlackKklansman
-
Black Panther
-
If Beale Street Could Talk
-
A Star Is Born
-
Can You Ever Forgive Me?
With no other real competiion, Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole's screenplay is expected to secure a nomination when voting is all said and done. The WGA nod can only be a benefit for the film's awards campaign. The closest competion analysts believe the film has is Damien Chazelle's
First Man, though many believe that the film has fallen off the radar entirely. For the superhero genre, it's about time it gets its due.
Do you think
Black Panther will be nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay?
