Well Written

With only 6 days left until the nominations for the 2005 Oscar race are announced, I'm going to start putting down my predictions of who will get nominated. It is the 2005 race because it reflects the films from 2005.

The five nominees of Adapted Screenplay which just means that the material comes from a previously published source; memoir, book, stage play, etc...

Brokeback Mountain-Larry McMurtry & Diana Ossana
Munich-Tony Kushner & Eric Roth
Walk The Line-James Mangold & Gill Dennis
The Constant Gardener-Jeffrey Caine
Capote-Dan Futterman

In the Original Screenplay category, the one in which freshness is celebrated, my picks are as follows.

Crash-Paul Haggis & Bobby Moresco
The Squid and The Whale-Noah Baumbach
Good Night, and Good Luck-George Clooney & Grant Heslov
40 Year-Old Virgin-Steve Carell & Judd Apatow
Match Point-Woody Allen
