John Logan Nominated For WGA Award

John Logan, who is currently working on the script for the next Star Trek film, has been nominated by the Writers Guild of America for its 53rd annual Television & Radio Awards.

Logan was nominated in the category 'Adapted Long Form' for his work on 'RKO 281', a film dealing with the problems Orson Welles faced in creating 'Citizen Kane'. 'RKO 281' (the title is a reference to the production number assigned by the studio to 'Citizen Kane') aired on HBO in November 1999, and was based on the documentary 'The Battle Over Citizen Kane'.

The other nominees in the category are 'Deliberate Intent', a thriller for FX that was written by Andy Wolk & Lisa Mohan, 'A House Divided', a Showtime civil war drama by Paris Qualles, and finally the only network film in the category, ABC's drama 'Tuesdays with Morrie', written by Tom Rickman.

Winners of the awards will be announced on Sunday the 4th of March 2001, during a special awards ceremony held in Beverly Hills at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The full list of nominees can be found here.
