Finally, some originality! WGA announces

The Writer's Guild of America has revealed their nominations and of all the guilds and critics groups, these are by far the most interesting:

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY:

The Aviator - John Logan

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Charlie Kaufman, Story by Charlie Kaufman & Michel Gondry & Pierre Bismuth

Garden State - Zach Braff

Hotel Rwanda - Keir Pearson & Terry George

Kinsey - Bill Condon


ADAPTED SCREENPLAY

Before Sunset - Richard Linklater & Julie Delpy & Ethan Hawke, Story by Richard Linklater & Kim Krizan, Based on Characters Created by Richard Linklater & Kim Krizan

Mean Girls - Tina Fey, Based on the Book "Queen Bees and Wannabes) by Rosalind Wiseman

Million Dollar Baby - Paul Haggis, Based upon Stories from "Rope Burns" by F.X. Toole

The Motorcycle Diaries - Jose Rivera, Based on the Books "Notas de Viaje" by Ernesto Guevara and "Con el Che por America Latina" by Alberto Granado

Sideways - Alexander Payne & Jim Taylor, Based on the Novel by Rex Pickett

Great for Mean Girls! This is the film's first major accolade. Considering that a large branch of the WGA is made up of television writers, the noms for Fey and Braff aren't that surprising. Might there be an Oscar nomination in Miss Fey's future?
There's also this interesting rule that all sequels are considered adapted. Hmm. Where does that leave Kill Bill: Vol. 2?
