Print Edition
The writers of “Her” and “Captain Phillips” were given top honors by their peers at the annual Writers Guild Awards, which were handed out simultaneously in Los Angeles and New York on Saturday.
Success in the WGA is a strong predictor of success in the screenplay categories at the Oscars in a month’s time.
Spike Jonze won the best original screenplay award for “Her,” about a man in a romantic relationship with a lifelike computer operating system.
“It’s a high honor coming from writers,” Jonze, 44, who also directed the film, said.
“It’s like an award for pain,” he added. “It’s a specific pain that writers know and it’s the highs and lows of sitting in there by yourself.”
“Captain Phillips,” inspired by the events of a cargo ship hijacked by Somali pirates, earned writer Billy Ray the prize for best adapted screenplay. The film was based on Richard Phillips’ 2010 memoir “A Captain’s Duty.”
“Captain Richard Phillips... survived something that I know would’ve killed me,” Ray said. “It’s really Captain Phillips who wrote this story; I just wrote it down.”
Alex Gibney, the writer and director of the documentary “We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks,” was given a special award for the script that best embodies constitutional rights and civil liberties.
Writers for AMC Networks Inc’s “Breaking Bad,” won for best TV drama and best TV drama episode.
