I’ll go with Slumdog Millionaire and Milk.
What are your picks?
If anyone other than ‘Wall-E’ or ‘In Bruges’ wins for Best Original, I will spit glass.
Haven’t read all these scripts OR seen all those movies so I’m not very emotionally engaged. Safe bet when you’re not sure. I’ll go with Scott Myer’s picks. Yeah, dude’s pretty and he’s usually on top of it.
