The biggest surprise in the 2005 Writers Guild Award nominations was the inclusion of Tina Fey&#8217;s Mean Girls (above, with Lindsay Lohan), which has thus far been ignored by other award-giving groups. Among the other nominated screenplays were those for multiple award-winners The Aviator, Sideways, and Million Dollar Baby.
According to the WGA&#8217;s press release, &#34;films eligible for a Writers Guild Award were produced signatory to the Writers Guild minimum basic agreement, and released in the year 2004 under the jurisdiction of Writers Guild of America, East and West and affiliate guilds in Australia, Canada, French Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, and New Zealand. There were 193 films eligible for nomination in the categories of Original Screenplay (109) and Adapted Screenplay (84).&#34;
