Writers Guild Announces Nominations
January 8, 2009
The Writers Guild of America have announced their nominations for this years award show, and all of the usual suspects have made the cut. Leading the nominations are Milk, starring Dustin Hoffman, and The Wrestler, starring Mickey Rourke, which are both up for best screenplay. The other nominees in that category are Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Burn After Reading, and The Visitor.

The nominees for best adapted screenplay look pretty familiar! In the running are The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Doubt, Slumdog Millionaire, The Dark Knight, and Frost/Nixon.

As is this case with the Producers Guild, the Writers Guild picks often foreshadow who will be nominated for the Academy Awards. This is because many Writers Guild members are also Academy members. We definitely think the list will look similar.

All of the movies in the adapted screenplay category are top notch. We’ll have to wait until January 22nd to hear who’s in the running for this year’s Oscar! Shortly after, catch the Writers Guild Awards on February 7th.

AFI Names Top Ten Movies of the Year
December 15, 2008
The American Film Institute knows a thing or two about good movies. And they’ve just released their list for the top ten films of 2008. A 13-person jury deliberated over the weekend to decide on which films were the best of the year.

To qualify, the movie had to be a narrative fiction feature longer than 60 minutes "with significant creative and/or production elements from the United States."

According to Variety, AFI picked The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Dark Knight, Frost/Nixon, Frozen River, Gran Torino, Iron Man, Milk, Wall-E, Wendy and Lucy, and The Wrestler as the top ten.

We think this is a good mix of light films, and ones with a more in –depth story line. Do you think they got the list right? And speaking of top ten, AFI also named their favorites for television shows as well. In the top ten are: Breaking Bad, In Treatment, John Adams, Life, Lost, Mad Men, The Office, Recount, The Shield and The Wire.
