BEST ART DIRECTION
The Nominees Are:
- Changeling
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
- The Dark Knight
- The Duchess
- Revolutionary Road
Erin’s Pick: The Duchess
My Mom’s Pick: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Winner Last Year Was: Sweeney Todd
I have not seen any of these movies, but period pieces do tend to do well, and The Duchess has the most potential for that (Otherwise, it sounds like a very depressing movie).
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
The Nominees Are:
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
- Doubt
- Frost/Nixon
- The Reader
- Slumdog Millionaire
Erin’s Pick: Slumdog Millionaire
My Mom’s Pick: Doubt
The Winner Last Year Was: No Country for Old Men
I haven’t seen any of these movies, but Slumdog Millionaire is the one I have the most interest in seeing. I have a slight interest in Frost/Nixon as well. My mom chose Doubt because the play won a Tony Award and a Pulitzer Prize.
