OSCAR PREDICTION:
Writing (Adapted Screenplay): Very close category, with all nominees worthy.
Richard Linklater, Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke, Before Sunset -- DID NOT SEE
David Magee, Finding Neverland -- Original take on the writing of "Peter Pan", but will be overshadowed by the other nominees.
Paul Haggis, Million Dollar Baby -- I would not be surprised if this wins, but it was the actiong that made this movie work. The screenplay is a tad manipulative.
Jose Rivera, The Motorcycle Diaries -- DID NOT SEE
Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, Sideways -- SHOULD WIN and WILL WIN Great story of midlife crises and finding ones self.
