Frost/Nixon
January 8, 2009
--
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.

The Moviehole peeps have been fans since day one. When the film came out, they gave The Dark Knight rave reviews, saying, ''The Dark Knight' is the best Batman film ever made, the best Superhero movie ever made, and the best movie of the year to date. It’s a 5-star masterpiece that’ll leave you spinning! In fact, 'The Dark Knight' is one of the best cinematic experiences you’ll have. It might even top 'The Last Starfighter'.”
The movie beat out The Brothers Bloom and Transsiberian for the top spot on the list, with Frost/Nixon and Stop Loss rounding out the top five. Interesting picks! We have out movie-watching cut out for us!
On the other end of the spectrum, Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull was named the worst film of the year by the website, with The Day The Earth Stood Still coming in second to last and The Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor third to last. Those we definitely agree with! It’s time Harrison Ford passed along the torch to Shia LaBeouf. Check out Moviehole.net for their complete list of year end movie reviews.

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.
