And I'm not talking about Del Toro, because he was also the director. Simply put -- has ANYONE thanked a writer yet? Also, why the hell is best original song AFTER best original screenplay? Unreal.
Has ANYONE thanked the writer?

Re: Has ANYONE thanked the writer?
I think it was the director of the short "West Bank Story" that thanked his co-writer. Leave it to the little guy to remember the humble writer.
But leave it to the writer to pu$$y up and refer to the co-directors as the "true authors of the film." (Michael Arndt)

Re: Has ANYONE thanked the writer?
The bigger names thanked the writer. That's expected. Still doesn't excuse the fact that people who win for art direction or editing or score don't thank the writer as well. They thank everyone else, why can't they thank the writer? A writer doesn't get his job from what the cinematographer does. A cinematographer DOES get his job from what the writer does. Everyone who thanks the director should also thank the screenwriter. Anyone who believes otherwise is wrong. Point blank.
For once I'd like to see the person who wins best screenplay go up and just thank the writer.

Didn't they do some sort of clip reel of different movie characters as writers showing how difficult it is to come up with a great idea for a screenplay? I think this was the entire Hollywood industry's way of saying, "Yes, we know you exist, we know your job is hard, so here's your tribute reel. Thank you."

On other news, props to Monahan:
The winner for best adapted screenplay, William Monahan, doesn't take lightly any suggestion of people messing with his script for "The Departed." He even said it: "I was (on location), I was going to give them hell if there was going to be a lot of improv." So when one reporter kept asking him about any actual improv, he snapped. "It was a written script," he hissed. "Yeah? Thanks." The reporter shrank back.Last edited by Jakkal; 02-26-2007, 03:37 AM.
