2015 Awards -- Writers Guild of America (WGA)

The Writers Guild has announced their nominees. It's always a mixed bag with them, because every year there are several prominent films that end up being ineligible. For these awards, only WGA members are eligible. These year, ineligible films included Inside Out, The Hateful Eight, Ex Machina, Mad Max, Room, Son of Saul, The Danish Girl, 45 Years, Brooklyn, and Anomalisa. So yeah, as usual, take these with a grain of salt.
