The Writers Speak: WGA 2014 Nominations.

The rules of the Writers Guild of America have left out in the past screenplays for films that do not comply properly with membership and exhibition requirements. Notably last year Django Unchained, Oscar winner, was not eligible.  The big outcast this year is 12 Years a Slave (download the screenplay).
