One screenplay I truly wish to win this award, the one written by Patricio Guzmán; no other favorites but I really enjoy the amazing scripts by Diablo Cody so hope this one is good (haven’t seen film yet) and she gets the award. Not sure how these nominees could reflect the possible Oscar nominations, but I’m almost sure that Steven Zaillian has to get a nod and probably will be the one he share credits with Aaron Sorkin.

To check the official announcement that includes TV categories go here. Award ceremony will be Sunday, February 19, 2012.
