...probably both need to win the WGA if they want to win Best Picture:
- not one movie in the 57 years since the Eddies were first handed out has won Best Picture while having at least one Oscar snub for directing, screenplay, editing or acting (the latter meaning no acting nominations, of course) AND losing BOTH the ACE and WGA awards, while being eligible for both. (Stuff like Birdman, A Man for All Seasons and Tom Jones - all snubbed for editing - was ineligible for the WGA. And, by the way, all three won screenplay at the Oscars, so they may well have won the WGA, had they been eligible.)
- every DGA winner that's won Best Picture in the 29 years of the PGA era has also won either the PGA, WGA, ACE or a SAG acting award. DGA winners that didn't, and lost Best Picture at the Oscars: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), Born on the Fourth of July (1989).
