The Writers Guild Award nominees were announced yesterday, and the L.A. Times' Envelope blog points out that the guild might have accidentally tipped the winners on its Website. The nominees in the Original and Adapted categories aren't listed in alphabetical order; instead, they're in seemingly random order, with two presumptive front-runners, Juno and No Country for Old Men, atop the lists. Did some intern at the WGA just cut and paste the lists in order of votes received? Did the striking guild decide that reordering the list was too much like writing? The full list of nominees (in the WGA's mysterious order) is after the jump.
