No Waitress?

I'd love to see Waitress pull off a nomination, but right now, the buzz just isn't favorable.

Knocked Up in the running for original screenplay? r u serious?

Brian Erickson said...

Serious as can be. The Oscar Igloo is predicting it for a nomination, even. There are very few original screenplays this year (unfortunately)

Look at it this way, "The 40 Year Old Virgin" was considered a contender for an Original Screenplay nomination.

I don't think that Knocked Up has any chance for a nom. Especially if you read the actual screenplay. Like other Appatow projects, much of that was ad-libbed.

As anyone SEEN an American Crime? I haven't either...I don't think it will get a nom, not a wide enough release.
