"Her and Captain Phillips were the winners at this year&amp;#039;s Writers Guild of America (WGA) Awards. Spike Jonze won the prize for Best Original Screenplay for Her, a film he also directed.   Meanwhile, Billy Ray won Best Adapted Screenplay for Tom Hanks thriller Captain Phillips, based on a true story of a cargo ship hijacked by Somali pirates. Ray said he owed the film&amp;#039;s success to real-life counterpart Captain Richard Phillips, saying: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s really Captain Phillips who wrote this story, I just wrote it down.&amp;quot; Jonze&amp;#039;s story of a man (Joaquin Phoenix) who falls in love with a computer-generated voice also won a Golden Globe for its screenplay last month. The filmmaker said: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a high honour coming from writers.  &amp;quot;I was thinking about how in a way it&amp;#039;s like an award for pain. It&amp;#039;s a specific pain that writers know and it&amp;#039;s the highs and lows of sitting in there by yourself.&amp;quot; The WGA Awards are held annually before the Academy Awards ceremony, which takes place on March 2. Both Her and Captain Phillips are nominated for Best Picture at this year&amp;#039;s Oscars. Breaking Bad, House of Cards and Veep were the big winners in the TV categories.
