ROBBED OF BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

This movie was flat out robbed of Best Original Screenplay by Crash. Yes, Crash, a movie of forced racial ranting and god awful dialogue, wins Best Original Screenplay over a movie that actually has development and three dimensional characters.

Also, I'd like to make not that that one trick pony Diablo Cody has an Oscar for her terrible writing in Juno and a man with actual talent Noah Baumbach does not. What the *beep* is wrong with this goddamn world?

Oh, and this was such a great movie.

THis was very deserving of an oscar i agree, but i disagree on juno having terrible writing, that script was amazing. That being said i agree on her being a one-trick pony

they cured him alright

This movie was Awesome at writing! but One trick pony Diablo was great for Juno too. (i haven't enjoyed Diablo i her other writings)
This movie was wierd! I found this movie to be painful to my feelings. I thought the writing was top notch and the acting from jeff daniels as the *beep* up dad was spot on.

Thats why Noah Baumbach is a trillions times the writer Diablo Cody dreams she could be: He knows how to develop characters. He makes the audience question themselves if we should like these characters or feel ashamed of them. He's a real talent for the industry, while Cody will do nothing but use the same formula she used for that over-praised movie Juno.
