The final award Guild revealed their nominees earlier today for Best Original, Adapted and Documentary screenplays of the year. You will see some big surprises in each of the categories, notably in the Original category when James Cameron was named as a nominee for Avatar, widely considered by all to be the weakest point of the film. Not surprisingly in the category we find The Hurt Locker, (500) Days of Summer and A Serious Man with Avatar, and completing the category is The Hangover which is fun because there aren't a lot of raunchy comedies that are recognized for their screenplay. In the Adapted category, we find some of the frontrunners in Up In the Air and Precious. Julie & Julia also makes the cut, and a couple of films surprise here, notably Crazy Heart and yes, Star Trek. No doubt this year technical films will be rewarded a lot more than in the past. Here is the complete list of nominees:Original Screenplay
