Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published
^^^^^How come Avatar wasnt up for this award? |
James Cameron created the whole story/universe of Avatar it couldn't have been nomintated in that category. It should have been nomintated for best original screenplay but got snubbed.
|
You obviously didnt get the joke, but thats ok. And no it shouldnt have been nominated for best original screenplay, there was nothing original about it.
|
I'm pretty sure it was a lot more original when James Cameron first came up with the idea over 15 years ago he just didn't have the tools to make it into a feature film back then.
|
Isnt that still 5 years after Dances with Wolves came out?
|
Haven't seen Avatar yet so I can't compare it with Dances with Wolves.
|
So how are you arguing for Best Original Screenplay nomination then?
|
I'm pretty sure most origianal screenplays aren't very orginal. Beauty and the Beast won for best original score even though the main theme is a blatant rip-off of The Carnival of the Animals: The Aquarium by Camille Saint-Saens.

I thought this was relevant
Pocahontas the Disney Cartoon was first released 15 years ago :)
Edit: It's just a funny coincidence
|
Ha ha, I've NEVER seen that picture before.
You're so original
