LOS ANGELES (TheWrap) ? The Writers Guild of America has become the latest Hollywood guild to announce the timeline for its 2012 awards, which will take place on Sunday, February 19 in Los Angeles and New York.
The schedule will make the WGA the last of the major Hollywood guilds to present its awards, exactly one week before the Academy Awards.
Under a timeline released on Wednesday by the Writers Guild of America, East and the Writers Guild of America, West, submission deadlines begin in October and run to the beginning of December, depending on the category.
Nominations will be announced on December 7 for television, radio, news, promotional writing and graphic animation, on January 5 for theatrical features (including documentaries), and tentatively on January 11 for new media and videogame writing.
The awards will be handed out simultaneously at ceremonies at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles and a yet-to-be-determined location in New York.
The eligibility period for theatrical features is the calendar year 2011, while the period for broadcast submissions varies depending on the category. Additional information is available at www.wgaeast.org and www.wga.org.
Curiously, the WGA timeline also includes a notation for February 26 as the date of the Academy Awards -- a curious inclusion because unlike most other guilds, the WGA only opens its awards to screenplays written under guild jurisdiction. As a result, the WGA Awards draw from a far smaller field than the Oscars, making them one of the least-reliable predictors of Oscar success.
