Best Original Screenplay Analysis

Boy, am I tired. This will be easier next year, because now I know what to look at.

In any case, the nominees for Original are:

• Invasions barbares, Les - Denys Arcand
• Dirty Pretty Things - Steve Knight
• Finding Nemo - Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson, David Reynolds
• In America - Jim Sheridan, Naomi Sheridan, Kirsten Sheridan
• Lost in Translation - Sofia Coppola

The most significant indicator should be the guild (Writers Guild Award). Who has been on the ball for the most part.

This is pretty straightforward, though. Coppola, the very young director, in her second film, writes and directs a best nominee. She has also been nominated and/or won most of the major awards this year for the film.
