Accuracy[edit]

Seeing Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back listed as having been nominated for "best adapted comedy" makes me skeptical about the accuracy of this list. I don't see an official list of past nominees on the WGA's sites, so I'm guessing this came from the claim at IMDb, which is not a reliable source. —Mrwojo (talk) 02:08, 7 January 2011 (UTC) Here's an article from the Writers Guild that clearly states: "When screenwriter Leigh Brackett passed away before finishing the script for 1980's Star Wars sequel The Empire Strikes Back, Kasdan took over to complete the screenplay (from a story by Lucas), which received a WGA nomination (1981, Screen, Comedies Adapted from Another Medium)." http://www.wga.org/subpage_newsevents.aspx?id=1463 Crboyer (talk) 02:22, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your swift reply, I've added that link as a citation. Looking at the other nominees I see that the category is slightly different than I expected (screenplays adapted from previous screenplays are included). —Mrwojo (talk) 06:45, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1978: Julia or Islands in the Stream[edit]

The 1978 winner here is listed as Islands in the Stream, which didn't get an Oscar nomination. But IMDb says the eventual Oscar winner, Julia, also prevailed here. Why the discrepancy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.205.202.73 (talk) 03:27, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
