La Writers Guild of America, il sindacato degli scrittori di cinema ha scelto le dieci migliori sceneggiature dell’anno. Niente The Artist, ovviamente poco dialogato, niente Drive o Shame o Carnage o The tree of life. E niente Spielberg. Soprattutto nella categoria delle sceneggiature originali ci sono scelte discutibilissime.
E’ un’annata in cui davvero non si capisce chi possa imporsi. Attenderemo i vincitori. Steven Zaillian è in gara sia per la sceneggiatura di The girl with the dragon tattoo, sia per quella di Moneyball, scritta a quattro mani con Aaron Sorkin.
Dei dieci film nominati solo quattro sono già usciti in Italia.
