Cody already won the Critics Choice for Juno's screenplay so maybe that will help her with the Academy.

 

But as a theatre person, I have to ask....WTF at Sweeney Todd not being nominated for Best Picture when it won it at the Golden Globes.

 

Also, to the person who started this thread...Tim Burton was also nominated for best director for Sweeney Todd

I finally got to see Juno the other day and it was a really well executed movie with a lot of witty and funny dialogue. Awesome job on the script and if the Dave Letterman interview is any indication, you should come to a TPR party lol.

 

Keep up the great work on writing great stuff and now I need to go find a copy of that book.

The scene where Juno tells her parents she's pregnant is wonderful, I just want to thank you for avoiding the obvious and stupid cliché of making Juno's parents dumb and/or mean. There's not enough teen centered films where the parents aren't one note asshats.

Ok, this has just been the wierdest day. Let's review:

 

1. Comes home to flat rent increase. bad.

2. A favorite actor dies. bad.

3. Gets good news on some future project work. good.

4. Wakes up from freakish intense nightmare. bad.

5. Finds out one of the first people he met on TPR, who not only likes parks, but likes photography and old abandoned parks, is a smoking hot, highly witty punk chic, who's written not only a best selling book in Dave Letterman's book club, was on his show, AND is up for awards for a screenplay she wrote. AWESOME!

6. She's married. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

 

Still and all, damn she's hot, but I am spoken for, and the girlfriend would kill me.

 

Wow. Just.....wow.

Good luck, needed some good news after hearing about the death of Heath Ledger, another good aussie leaves us all too soon.

 

Now if I can only find a baby sitter the boss and I can go to watch Juno while it is still at the flicks.

Congratulations on the film's nominations, including your screenplay nom.

 

"Juno" is wonderful - we saw it just after Christmas - and it's great that the Academy really appears to be seeking out good films like this, to honor.

 

Go - Juno - Go!
