    WGA Awards 2019 Film Nominees Include ‘Green Book,’ ‘Black Panther’

    Universal

    Awards season is officially in full swing, and the latest group to announce nominations for its annual awards is the Writers Guild of America.

    The WGA revealed its nominees for the best film screenplays of the year on Monday, in three different categories: Original, adapted, and documentary. There are plenty of names in the WGA’s lineup that should already sound familiar to those that have been following awards season, including “Black Panther,” “A Star Is Born,” “Roma,” and newly-minted Best Comedy Golden Globe winner “Green Book.”

    But the WGA is also known for including some less high-profile nominees each year — titles that are critically beloved, but not entirely on the Best Picture Oscar radar, either. This year’s honorees feature films such as “Eighth Grade,” “Can You Ever Forgive Me?,” and potential-but-not-a-lock-just-yet candidate “A Quiet Place.”

    The full lineup — including nominees in the video game writing category — is below. The Writers Guild Awards winners will be announced at simultaneous ceremonies in New York City and Los Angeles on Sunday, February 17.

  • Why Michael B. Jordan Replaced Chadwick Boseman on ‘All My Children’

    Why Michael B. Jordan Replaced Chadwick Boseman on ‘All My Children’

    Marvel

    Fifteen years before they vied for the throne of Wakanda in “Black Panther,” Michael B. Jordan was tapped to replace Chadwick Boseman on “All My Children.”

    For a Wrap cover story, both actors talked for the first time about why Boseman walked away from the soap opera.

    After only a week playing teen thug Reggie Montgomery, Boseman complained about the stereotypical nature of the role.

    ABC

    Instead of tweaking the part, they fired then 26-year-old Boseman and brought in 16-year-old Jordan, who had just completed 12 episodes on HBO’s acclaimed crime docudrama “The Wire.”

    Boseman recalled, “When I got it, I was like…’This is not part of what I want to do. How can I make it work?… I remember going home and thinking, ‘Do I say something to them about this? Do I just do it?’ And I couldn’t just do it. I had to voice my opinions and put my stamp on it. And the good thing about it was, it changed it a little bit for [Jordan].”

    As Boseman told The Wrap, “They said, ‘You are too much trouble,’ but they took my suggestions, or some of them. And for me, honestly, that’s what this is about.”

    ABC

    Jordan said he’s appreciative for Boseman’s influence, even though he didn’t know about it at the time. “I’m younger than Chad, and I was coming into ‘All My Children’ fresh off ‘The Wire’ — wide open, still learning. I was playing this role not knowing that a lot of the things I was going through were because of what he’d already done for me.”

    The younger actor went on to say, “It’s hard to speak in the moment about how things we do can affect other people. But this is a pure example, right here on the spot… to understand how what people do now can directly affect what other people do in the future. And the work that we’re doing on ‘Black Panther’ is hopefully doing the same thing for the next group of actors that are coming up, just like our predecessors opened up doors and made things easier for us.”

  • Oscars 2019: Academy Reveals 347 Films Eligible for Best Picture

    Oscars 2019: Academy Reveals 347 Films Eligible for Best Picture

    Marvel Studios

    As the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gears up to begin voting on Oscar nominees, the awards body has revealed which features will be vying for statuettes at next year’s ceremony. And if any members happen to be indecisive, they may have a hard time sifting through this huge collection of films.

    The Academy revealed on Tuesday that there are 347 films that are eligible for feature-length Oscars this year, including the coveted Best Picture prize. That shortlist (can we still call it that when it has more than 300 entries? Whatever, we’re sticking with it) is a slight uptick from 2018’s eligible films pool, which contained 341 options.

    Among the films included in this year’s lineup are names that have already been heard plenty of times this awards season, such as “Black Panther,” “The Favourite,” “If Beale Street Could Talk,” “Roma,” “A Star Is Born,” and “Vice.” Then there are the flicks that have no chance at any sort of recognition — but we won’t name any names. (Though you can probably figure them out for yourself.)

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Academy has a strict set of parameters that films need to follow in order to qualify for a Best Picture (or editing, or acting, or writing, or what have you) prize. THR writes:

    ” … [A] feature-length motion picture qualifies if it has a running time of more than 40 minutes, is exhibited theatrically on 35mm or 70mm film or in a qualifying digital format, and opens in a commercial motion picture theater in Los Angeles County by Dec. 31 and completes a minimum run of seven consecutive days.”

    The Academy also revealed on Tuesday its shortlists in specific categories, including Best Original Song, Best Documentary Feature, and Best Foreign Film. There’s a bunch of overlap between that list and this newest one, so keep your eyes peeled for films that can break through multiple different format categories. (Obviously, “Roma” is the biggest contender here.)

    Nominees for the the 91st annual Academy Awards will be announced on January 22. The Oscars telecast will take place on Sunday, February 24 on ABC.
