WGA's First-Ever Documentary Screenplay Award goes to SUPER SIZE ME
March 23rd, 2005
This happened a few weeks ago and I was not aware of this new award. I think it's about time that documentary writing is noticed. There is plotting, sequencing, and structure that a writer must incorporate into the documentary story. From the WGA website:
LOS ANGELES -- The Writers Guild of America, west and East have named "Super Size Me", written by Morgan Spurlock, as the winner of the Guild's first-ever Documentary Screenplay Award for outstanding achievement in documentary writing for the screen during 2004. The newly-created award was presented by producer Brian Grazer at a SRO reception for over 400 nonfiction filmmakers held Tuesday, February 15, at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood.
Academy Award-nominee Spurlock, up for this year's Oscar for Best Documentary Feature for "Super Size Me", is an award-winning writer, director, and producer, as well as founder of The Con, the production company behind the fast-food indie hit documentary that not only provoked audiences across the nation, but affected positive change at one of America's largest corporations.
