BEST SCREENPLAY AWARD 2009
WINNER: Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman for Star Trek
I know that a blockbuster is a weird choice for best screenplay, as often they are about getting to the next big action scene. However, it is my belief that Star Trek is the best written film of the year. Not only have the writers given tribute to each of the characters, they have also given new life to a nearly dead franchise. Plus the whole concept of two realities for the reboot was a stroke of genius in my eyes.
RUNNER UP: Quentin Tarantino for Inglorious Basterds
Love it or hate it, the script for Inglorious Basterds was the true star of the picture. The amount of dialogue was bordering on ridiculous at times with its length, but people didn't complain because it was written so well and was always interesting. Tension is built so well, simply from words. Brilliant script.
HONOURABLE MENTIONS: Scott Neustader and Michael H. Weber for (500) Days of Summer, Bobcat Goldthwait for World's Greatest Dad.
