MOONLIGHT AND ARRIVAL TAKE WGA HONOURS

Sorry, Lion! Alas, Luke Davies' script wasn't eligible for the Writers Guild of America awards, and also I'm totally not sorry. But a tremendous coup for Moonlight, as its standing in the Adapted Screenplay Oscar race only improves with a win in Original Screenplay with the WGA. Indeed, with yet another contender to fend off this weekend in the Adapted victor here, Arrival, Barry Jenkins' groundbreaking drama nevertheless becomes an even stronger candidate by beating presumed frontrunners La La Land and Manchester by the Sea. And deservedly, too. All the details of the film award nominees at this link, and the winners below.

Best Original Screenplay

Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney (Moonlight)

Best Adapted Screenplay

Eric Heisserer - based on the story Story of Your Life by TEd Chiang (Arrival)

Best Documentary Screenplay

Robert Kenner, Brian Pearle, Kim Roberts and Eric Schlosser - based on the book Command and Control by Eric Schlosser (Command and Control)

2016 USC SCRIPTER WINNER: MOONLIGHT

So Moonlight wins the USC Scripter for Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney. It thus becomes the natural choice for those predicting the Adapted Screenplay Oscar, as this is the only major group considering the film an adaptation. You can see the nominees at this link.

INTERNATIONAL CINEPHILE SOCIETY AWARDS: ELLE, MOONLIGHT & SILENCE LEAD

A corrective to the tedium of the majority of other awards groups' nominations, here are the International Cinephile Society's picks for 2016. Eight mentions is the maximum, with three films claiming the lead - Paul Verhoeven's Elle, Barry Jenkins' Moonlight and Martin Scorsese's Silence. See what happens when you leave it a little longer to make your year-end choices? And see what happens when you poll the opinions of people with taste and intelligence? Winners will be announced on the 19th of February.

LA LA LAND LEADS BAFTA NOMINATIONS

BAFTA chimes in on awards season 2016-17, rather unwelcomely in this writer's opinion. La La Land leads the pack, predictably, with 11 nominations, but a number of flunks across the board take a less predictable route toward spoiling the set - Aaron Taylor-Johnson once again gets into Best Supporting Actor over Michael Shannon for Nocturnal Animals, Martin Scorsese's Silence shows up not once, and Barry Jenkins misses a Best Director nod for Moonlight. Indeed, Moonlight notches up a mere four mentions. The BAFTAs are held on the 12th of February.
