Many movies were declared ineligible for a nod, either because the movie was animated, or the writer(s) is not a member of the Guild. These movies included Toy Story 3, Another Year, Biutiful, Blue Valentine, The Ghost Writer, The King's Speech, Love & Other Drugs, Made in Dagenham, Never Let Me Go, The Way Back and Winter's Bone.

Eligible films that were passed over include Rabbit Hole, Fair Game, Get Low, Greenberg, Hereafter, Somewhere, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and Shutter Island.

An omission here, though, does not mean they will not go on to receive an Oscar nomination. Last year An Education, Inglourious Basterds and Up were all deemed ineligible by the WGA for its guild honors, but these three got nominated for a screenplay Oscar.

The awards will be presented on February 5.
