Writers Guild Awards 2014 - Complete Winners List
The winners for the Writers Guild Awards 2014 are in, and there are some huge upsets! Her has defeated American Hustle for Best Original Screenplay, while Captain Phillips has won Best Adapted Screenplay over The Wolf of Wall Street! While major Oscar contenders like 12 Years A Slave weren't eligible for the WGA Award, one has to wonder if Captain Phillips might actually be able to pull out the win on Oscar night. Her is still a longshot, meanwhile, but this win carries the film much closer to Oscar gold. So what are the other choices of the Writers Guild of America? Check out the full list of winners below:
