The Writers Guild of America have announced their nominees for 2018. Incredibly, The Favourite was completely shut out. I kid of course, because of the WGA ruling, certain films that fall outside of American production are deemed ineligible. So The Favourite screenwriters Tony McNamara and Deborah Davis will sit this one out, but almost certainly will return when the Oscar nominations are announced. Here are the WGA nominations:
