Today the Writers' Guild of America have announced their 2018 nominations for best Original, Adapted, and Documentary screenplays.
To little surprise, awards season frontrunners dominate, with favorites like Get Out, Lady Bird, The Shape of Water, and Call Me By Your Name all scoring nominations. The television Writing awards were announced last month.
Notably, Dustin Lance Black, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Milk and a vocal LGBTQ activist, will receive the WGA's 2018 Valentine Davies Award for his positive impact on civil and human rights.
"Dustin Lance Black is the embodiment of the Valentine Davies Award. A tireless advocate for the cause of LGBTQ+ rights, his accomplishments in that arena have been truly profound. The Board of Directors of the WGAW considers it our honor to give him this award," said WGAW President David A. Goodman in Deadline's report.
