WGA goes for Slumdog, Milk
RSSS

The Writers Guild of America gave out its awards last night, making the Best Picture race even less interesting as the inevitable Slumdog win becomes crystal clear.  Slumdog now has the DGA, PGA, SAG, and WGA (Adapted Screenplay) awards. Yes, that’s every major guild prize.

In other news, Milk took home the WGA original screenplay award, but still faces an Oscar challenge from WALL-E, which was ineligible for the WGA award.  The Best Original Screenplay Oscar, along with the Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress awards, will keep Oscar night interesting, as those categories are up in the air.  Meryl, Kate, maybe Anne for Best Actress. Sean, Mickey, maybe Frank or even Brad for Best Actor. Any of the above in Supporting Actress, except Amy Adams.

I’ll get to posting Oscar predictions in the next week or so, but I doubt it will be any clearer. Outside of the Slumdog wins, anything can happen.
