Writers Guild Awards Nominees Announced for 2025

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has announced the nominees for its 77th annual Awards, showcasing outstanding achievements in screenwriting across various categories. Films such as 'Anora,' 'Wicked,' and 'A Complete Unknown' were highlighted, while eligibility restrictions excluded several anticipated Oscar contenders, including 'The Brutalist' and 'Sing Sing.' The announcement was delayed due to the ongoing L.A. wildfires, underscoring the impact of the natural disaster on the film industry. The WGA Awards ceremony is set for February 15, ahead of the Oscars, with the latter's nominations to be revealed on January 23. Voting for WGA members will take place from January 14 to 27. The WGA's eligibility rules often result in a significant number of films being ineligible, which can influence the Oscar nominations that follow.
