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

Yay for sarcasm, the picture was pretty new for me.

OT: Shame district 9 didn't win any awards, it was one of my favourite movies from last year.

Well Disney rips-off stuff all the time also just do a little research of my comment about Beauty and the Beast.

The boring Furt Locker beat Up, Inglorious Bastars, Invictus and Avatar? Pfff.

Yet again, do something involving USA history and bingo.

yes i agree with the winner 

the hurt locker was the best of the 10 nominees 

and actually the movie is not talking about american history 

is just how WAR IS A DRUG ($$$$$ for goverments) the movie is just excellent period 

and i agree with some here 

where the wild things are was completely ignored and so was MOON (best movie of 09)
