L’ultimo sindacato a scegliere i migliori dell’anno è quello degli scrittori, la Writers Guild of America. Da sempre ha regole rigidissime sui copioni che possono essere scelti, vincolando rigidamente sulle regole sindacali in fase di scrittura.
E spesso succede che ne vengono esclusi copioni eccellenti, che poi ritroveremo agli Oscar, magari vincendoli…
Quest’anno gli esclusi eccellenti sono The Brutalist e The Substance, Emilia Pérez e Conclave: sono i film di cui più si sta parlando quest’anno e gli assoluti favoriti? Alla WGA non importa nulla.
