'Inception', 'Social Network' get WGA noms

Inception and The Social Network have secured nominations at the 2011 WGA (Writers Guild of America) Awards.

Christopher Nolan's script for his mind-bending heist thriller Inception faces competition from boxing biopic The Fighter, Black Swan, and indie dramas The Kids Are All Right and Please Give for the 'Original Screenplay' prize.

For 'Adapted Screenplay', Sorkin's Social Network - based on Ben Mezrich's book The Accidental Billionaires - is up against 127 Hours, I Love You Phillip Morris, The Town and True Grit.
