"Borat's" Oscar stock just ticked up. Again.
The controversial comedy, up for two Golden Globes next week, pulled in a Writers Guild of Amrica nomination Thursday for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Last year, only two of the WGA's 10 feature-film nominees failed to nab a screenplay nod at the Academy Awards.
"Borat's" screenplay, credited to star Sacha Baron Cohen, Anthony Hines, Peter Baynham and Dan Mazer, will go page-to-page with "The Departed," "The Devil Wears Prada," "Little Children" and "Thank You for Smoking."
In the Original Screenplay category, Peter Morgan's critically lauded effort for "The Queen" has a shot at yet another honor. His competition at the WGAs: the writers of "Babel," "Little Miss Sunshine," "Stranger Than Fiction" and "United 93." |
