I am pleased to announce…
…that for the first time in my experience, I was forced to cut down my votes for Best Screenplay to ten. In the past, I’ve always had to strain to find five original screenplays and five adapted screenplays worthy of nomination, often voting for the works of friends or writers I admire, even when I thought the actual script wasn’t very good. But this year I actually had to go through the list twice and painfully un-check three or four scripts from each category I would have gladly voted for in order to limit my votes to five apiece.
Naturally, I was limited to movies I have already seen. Sorry, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. Next time send a screener.
Wait, are you implying that Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem was written? By writers?
It was written by none other than Shane Salerno, who is not only a dependable writer of action scenarios, but is also one of the few writers I can think of who has his picture up on his IMDb profile.
Shane has multiple pictures on his profile! Take that, William Goldman!
