The scripts missing from the WGA awards explain why I wouldn't want to be a member

Compile a list of scripts ineligible for WGA awards this year and it's a
Who's Who of great scripts. Perhaps it's my contrary nature, but I don't
tend to care for either unions nor guilds for just this reason.

 ‘Winter’s Bone,’ ‘King’s Speech’, ‘Toy Story 3?, and ‘Never Let Me Go’
Ineligible for WGA
Awards<http://www.slashfilm.com/winters-bone-kings-speech-toy-story-3-never-go-ineligible-wga-awards/>

Don’t expect to see *Winter’s Bone, King’s Speech, Toy Story 3, Never Let Me
Go, *and* How to Train Your Dragon* nominated for the WGA Awards. The
Writers Guild of America have revealed the list of eligible films, and none
of the previously mentioned highly acclaimed movies/screenplays are on the
ballot. Before you get up in arms, you must realize that the guild’s rules
restrict nominations to productions aren’t produced by WGA members or under
WGA guidelines.

Other films missing from the WGA ballot include*
Biutiful<http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/biutiful/>,
The Ghost Writer <http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/the-ghost-writer/>, Nowhere
Boy, Scott Pilgrim Vs. the
World<http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/scott-pilgrim-vs-the-world/>
*and *The Way Back*. Of the animated feature films, Zack Snyder’s *Legends
of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole *passed, while more highly acclaimed
movies like Pixar’s *Toy Story 3* and DreamWorks Animation’s *How to Train
Your Dragon* were deemed ineligible.

Last year, several of the high-profile award contenders weren’t eligible for
WGA Awards, resulting in only four of the ten WGA nominees to receive Oscar
nominations. Some of the films named ineligible: Quentin Tarantino’s
Inglourious Basterds, A Single Man, District 9 and An Education.While
200-plus films qualified for the Academy Awards, only 43 films qualified in
the original screenplay category, and 33 in the adapted screenplay category.
