Sono stati assegnati i Writers Guild Awards 2018 e, a sorpresa, Scappa – Get Out ha conquistato il premio per la migliore sceneggiatura originale. Il film di Jordan Peele ha sbaragliato la concorrenza dei favoriti The Shape of Water e soprattutto di Tre Manifesti a Ebbing, Missouri.
Per quanto riguarda invece la categoria per la migliore sceneggiatura non originale, il premio è andato al novantenne James Ivory, per Chiamami col tuo nome.
Il premio, per Peele, potrebbe significare un grande passo verso l’Oscar a discapito di Tre Manifesti a Ebbing, Missouri, considerato il front-runner per il premio alla sceneggiatura a Martin McDonagh. Tuttavia, questo risultato potrebbe ripercorrere quello che è accaduto lo scorso anno, nella categoria degli script, quando i WGA premiarono Moonlight su La la Land, il favorito ai blocchi di partenza, ma che poi vinse la statuetta di categoria agli Oscar (dove però Moonlight concorreva in sceneggiatura non originale).
Per quanto riguarda la categoria di sceneggiature adattate, i WGA 2018 hanno premiato James Ivory e Chiamami col tuo nome ad appena 24 ore di distanza dal USC Libraries Scripter Award. Storicamente questo tandem è imbattibile.
