none of his nine films have ever been nominated by the WGA. Tarantino has never joined the Guild, though he is a member of the DGA since 2011 and has been nominated for their Best Director award twice before. has already won the NYFCC Screenplay award and been nominated in the category by both the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards. Similarly Almodovar has also won an Original Screenplay Oscar but has never been in the WGA’s awards whirl.

She didn’t make the WGA preliminary cut so don’t look for her at the ceremony on February 1.
