Re: What was the BEST Screenplay among the 10 Oscar Nominati Such colorful characters. David O. Russell's a genius. His movies (their characters, their dialogue) always feel so alive, so human, so messy yet meticulous.

Re: What was the BEST Screenplay among the 10 Oscar Nominati No.
And the sisters in The Fighter were wonderful. Hilarious.

Re: What was the BEST Screenplay among the 10 Oscar Nominati Yes, comical. The whole film is actually a parody on stupid boxing films.

Re: What was the BEST Screenplay among the 10 Oscar Nominati Nah.
The movie has humor because life has humor, and The Fighter is very keyed into the messiness and electricity of American life. But it's also definitely a solid, engaging sports movie. I don't think Russell is trying to spoof anything.

Re: What was the BEST Screenplay among the 10 Oscar Nominati I could not take it seriously. Neither could any of the people I saw the film with.
