"Midnight in Paris" and "Bridesmaids" earn Writers Guild Awards nominations

(CBS) The Writers Guild Award nominations have been announced and Alexander Payne's "Descendants," Kristin Wiig's "Bridesmaids" and Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" are among the nominees.

Unlike most other film industry guilds, the Writers Guild of America does not allow non-guild members to receive nominations and screenplays must be produced under the guild's labor agreements in order to be eligible. Due to the guild's strict rules, the awards do not serve as a helpful predictor of Oscar nominations.

Last year, four of the 10 Oscar nominees for best original and adapted screenplay had not also been picked by the WGA. For 2009, six of the Oscar nominees were non-WGA.

Among the ineligible scripts this year are such critics' favorites as "The Artist," "Beginners," "Drive," "The Iron Lady," "My Week with Marilyn," "Shame" and many others. A total of 33 films qualified this year for the WGA's ballot for best adapted screenplay, and 55 for best original screenplay, according to awards blog Hit Fix.
