With their arcane rules, these won’t be terribly predictive unless the two Oscar frontrunners come up short here.

Best Original Screenplay

Black Bag Nil
If I Had Legs I’d Kick You Nil
Marty Supreme WL TL
Sinners WL PP TL
Weapons PP

Wesley Lovell: With only two of the Oscar nominees in this category, it seems likely to be one or the other and with the momentum behind Sinners, it would be shocking for it to lose.
Pete Patrick: Sinners should take this easily.

Best Adapted Screenplay

Bugonia Nil
Frankenstein Nil
Hamnet WL PP TL
One Battle After Another WL PP TL
Train Dreams Nil

Wesley Lovell: A rarity for the WGA, their entire Best Adapted Screenplay slate matches the Oscars but it won’t matter because One Battle After Another is impossible to beat.
Pete Patrick: One Battle After Another is the likely winner, but Hamnet could upset.
Thomas La Tourrette: If Hamnet could not win the adapted screenplay at the BAFTA, it is unlikely to prevail here. One Battle After Another notches another victory.

Documentary Screenplay

Nil
2000 Meters to Andriivka WL PP TL
Becoming Led Zeppelin WL
White with Fear PP TL

Wesley Lovell: I’m only familiar with two of these and one seems more important, so I’m hedging on 2000 Meters to Andriivka.
Pete Patrick: Just guessing, I literally have no clue.
Thomas La Tourrette: The film I have heard the most about is 2000 Meters to Andriivka, so it seems the likely winner.
