It will be a tie between The Artist and Hugo.The Artist (picture, director, actor, sup actress, screenplay, cinematography, editing, art direction, score, costume). 10Hugo (picture, director, screenplay, cinematography, editing, art direction, sound editing, visual effects, score, costume). 10Tree of Life (picture, director, sup actress, screenplay, cinematography, visual effects) 6The descendants (picture, director, actor, sup actress, screenplay, editing) 6Extremely loud (picture, director, screenplay, editing, score) 5Moneyball (picture, actor, screenplay, editing) 4War Horse is starting to loose steam (picture, cinematography, sound editing, score) 4

The Artist best screenplay? What I was smoking? I still think it's The Artist vs Hugo. War Horse is slowly recovering from early backlash, EL&IC is almost dead in lead categories. Drive comes with strength and I can see this getting nods for Picture, Actor, Supp Actor, Screenplay, Editing, and Sound editing. Maybe even Director.

Whatever you were smoking must've been good for you. Isn't The Artist getting a screenplay nomination pretty much a done deal at this point?

[stripe]

Yeah, it's very possible at this point but if we honestly think about it, it's like WTF! A silent movie getting screenplay nom... Really?

On BOM I had the topic of what BP noms didn't sound like a BP nom based off of the premise. I had films like Ghost and Babe and other ones. Some people descriptions were really funny, like the ones for ET and Up were my favorites.

Well you have to give Hazanavicius some credit. I'm sure a screenplay for a silent film is much harder to write.

[Impact]

Probably. Though its also easier to mess up your lines in those without having a retake

George Lucas and James Cameron are very good storyboarding a film. But then, they're meh with dialogue. That's why they don't get nominations in Screenplay categories. If both choose to write a silent film, shouldn't they get recognition?I don't want to question Hazanavicious writing abilities, but in a silent movie the director's choices are the key, not the screenplay. IMHO, the hardest thing in screenplay are the dialogue.

Sometimes screenwriters don't get enough credit. Like I read the story behind that really bad film Meet Dave (Never saw it) that the man who was credited as writing it said that it was not his script that was in the movie, his was apparently a better film until it had rewrites.

[CoolioD1]

Yeah, well he would say that. Only a few films that go through various rewrites like The Fighter or Moneyball actually end up not being kind of a mess.

[Impact]

I really hope MI4 gets nominated for something, just saying.

[CoolioD1]

Agreed. I imagine it'll get a sound nomination or something.

[Impact]

Actually I want a cinematography nod.

The Help having the most would not surprise me actually.
