Oscar Winner Predictions: Best Original Screenplay

The nominees:
FROZEN RIVER
HAPPY-GO-LUCKY
IN BRUGES
MILK
WALL-E

My ballot: 2/5 (TBA soon)
Who should win: Any are terrific, I’d be happiest with “In Bruges”
Who will win: It’s sort of wide open, with the WGA list between 4/5 different, and the one common denominator, Milk, taking home that award. With four new competitors, I still think it wins, but I’d be thrilled with an upset by “Wall-E” or “In Bruges.”
