Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay is one of the three film writing awards given by the Writers Guild of America Award.

The WGA Awards have always been a good indicator for the Academy Awards. From 1990 onwards, only six winners did not win the Academy Award:

in 1990 Avalon lost to Ghost,

in 1994 Four Weddings and a Funeral lost to Pulp Fiction (not nominated for a WGA Award),

in 1995 Braveheart lost to The Usual Suspects (not nominated for a WGA Award),

in 1997 As Good As It Gets lost to Good Will Hunting,

in 2000 You Can Count on Me lost to Almost Famous and

in 2002 Bowling for Columbine lost to Hable con ella (Talk to Her) (not nominated for a WGA Award).
