If Avatar can get this kind of recognition, for a script that's truly average, i think it's gonna steamroll the awards this year.

Posted by: goodvibe61 on Jan 11, 11:25 in response to helmetz's post WGA Nominations: Original Screenplay

Let's face it; the script is not the selling point of this film. Far from it. the story is so ordinary.

The technical aspect is landmark filmmaking, no question about it. But best screenplay?

I'm thinking there's no stopping this film right now.

S. Lang best supporting actor is getting more possible by the minute ( and earned IF...) {nm} JMT Jan 11, 11:31

Perhaps. But remember that two big threats in this category, "Up" and "Inglourious Basterds," were not eligible for a WGA nomination. {nm} helmetz Jan 11, 11:35

Scripts are about more than dialog. Cameron is the master of script structure and pacing {nm} hyper73 Jan 11, 12:07

Script Structure and Pace? Only if you want 75% explosions and 3D landscape, and the rest poorly developed characters and flimsy story! numbersix_99 Jan 11, 14:45

Ineligible films linclude BSTRD, UP and MRFOX. {nm} Antibody Jan 11, 11:33

It's looking good for Randolph Brewster getting a nomination {nm} mrbinns Jan 11, 13:30
