Taxi to the Dark Side was among the list of films nominated in the “Documentary Screenplay” category by The Writers Guild of America. Nominations were announced this past Thursday. Other films in the category include: Michael Moore’s “Sicko,” Anthony Giacchino’s “The Camden 28,” Bill Guttentag, Dan Sturman and Elizabeth Bentley’s “Nanking,” Charles Ferguson’s “No End in Sight,” and Richard Berge, Nicole Newnham and Bonni Cohen’s “The Rape of Europa.”
The WGA Awards are traditionally doled out in simultaneous ceremonies in New York and Los Angeles. However, the WGA West said while it will announce the winners as scheduled on February 9, it would withhold its ceremony until after the strike is settled. The WGA East had yet to make a decision on the fate of the New York fete.
Taxi to the Dark Side is also on the short list for The Oscars and is nominated in the “Documentary Category” for the Directors Guild of America Awards, which will be presented during the 60th anniversary DGA gala on January 26th.
