While the Writers Guild of America are on strike they have announced their nominees for their screenplay awards this year, although they have stated that the ceremony will not take place until after the strike - let's hope that's not that long away.

The nominees are right here and there aren't really any surprises. It is good to see both Knocked Up and Zodiac in the list, as well as a strong list for Documentary Screenplay once again.

The list comes through Variety with the delay announcement through Yahoo Movies.

No Country for Old Men (Filmstalker review) or There Will Be Blood, although it would be nice to see Into the Wild come into contention, it's looking more and more like these two are going head to head for the Oscars.
