People were so relieved about Wonder Woman's lighter tone and it was such a huge hit that yes, this would certainly be an unsurprising nominee, despite the movie falling apart in the third act.OscarGuy wrote:Wonder Woman would be a classic WGA nomination.

Re: WGA Exclusions
My ballot. Less idiosyncratic than I think I've been in past years, but of course, I have fairly mainstream taste, and in a year with so many impressive mainstream contenders, I'm not going to play contrarian just for the sake of it.

WGA Exclusions
Obviously I'm stretching the definition of viable contenders to include almost ANYTHING that could even be on the fringes of the conversation, but here is -- based on eye-balling the ballot -- what seems to be missing:
ORIGINAL
Beach Rats
Breathe
Colossal
Columbus
Darkest Hour
God's Own Country
Good Time
Goodbye Christopher Robin
It Comes At Night
The Killing of a Sacred Deer
The Lovers
Novitiate
Personal Shopper
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
ADAPTED
Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool
It
Lady Macbeth
My Cousin Rachel
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Victoria & Abdul
And, as usual, all of the animated and foreign language titles.
