Here Are The 2013 Writers Guild Awards Nominees. LOOPER And MOONRISE KINGDOM Included

WGA West and WGA East have come up with their list of nominations for this year and my favorite, MOONRISE KINGDOM is included in the original screenplay category, but sadly BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD is not eligible for the adapted screenplay. That’s ok, Oscars usually include things that WGA overlooks anyway.
The ceremony to announce the winners will take place Sunday, February 17, 2013..
