Golden Globe Nominees: Best Screenplay - Motion Picture

The nominees:
ATONEMENT
CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR
THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY
JUNO
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

My predictions: 4/5, choosing "There Will Be Blood" over "The Diving Bell".

This is really a terrific list. While I might cross off "Charlie Wilson's War" and replace it with a more deserving contender, I am pretty happy, especially about Ronald Harwood's inclusion for "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". This is not a good thing for "There Will Be Blood", which despite getting in for Best Motion Picture - Drama, should have scored a nod here (not that I have seen it yet, but I assume).

Who will win? A three-way race between Atonement, Juno, and No Country for Old Men. My money is on Juno.
