As we know, every year WGA's strict rules about Guild contracts exclude some films from consideration for their annual awards. Here's this year's most prominent such entries:

ORIGINAL
A Hero
Annette
Belfast
Mass
Parallel Mothers
Pig
The Worst Person In The World
Titane

ADAPTED
Benedetta
Cyrano
Drive My Car
Passing
The Lost Daughter
The Power Of The Dog
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Zola

The headline is, two potential winners -- one seemingly certain, one definitely in contention -- are missing, but also several other potential nominees.

Today has done a pretty good job overall of muddying this year's Oscars, for which I am supremely grateful.
