I mean, Borat could get a screenplay nom and the reviews for Knocked Up are equally universally stellar. It's at 93% at RT and has a 8.2/10 average. With it definitely being a big hit, I think a screenplay nom is very well possible...And likely a Best Comedy/Musical nom at the Globes too! |

As you said, at the Globes it may have some chances, but at the Academy Awards I think the chances are zero. Borat had the added value of being a Fakumentary and not your typical comedy. Then again, we have to wait until the end of the year to see what else is available. |

Maybe, but it's getting released a little too early I think. A Globe nod or two is likely, but probably no Oscar nods. |

I like its chance, especially with the good legs it's going to have. The 40 Year Old Virgin was nominated for WGA, and Knocked Up looks to have better reviews. |

Yeah, it's possible. If it gets terrific reviews (i.e., stays in the 90s) and outgrosses 40 Year Old Virgin, I can see it getting recognised. |

it will get recognized at the Golden Globes the academy will probably be too snobby like usual though. |

It's harder to get recognized at GG since there is only one combined screenplay category. I haven't checked, but almost all, if not all, films get nominated for screenplay at GG are nominated at Oscar. |

40YOV was so close of getting a nom that it's very likely they'll want to compensate that snub with this one. |

Yeah I was about to say that, a lot of the members were apparantley upset with the 40YOV not getting a nom... They'll make up for it here I think. |

If EW is to be believed, many members were annoyed even Carell and Keener were snubbed. Or EW was just trying to make fun of the Oscars for going for smaller movies, but whatever. Anyway, I do Knocked Up is looking very likely for a nom. It appears to be better and more accessible than Virgin, and if it really breaks out...yeah. |

Have you heard some of the language? Holy cow. It'll be tough. But it's possible |

http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/knockedup Unless it flops, I have a hard time not seeing it show up around awards time (Well, for as much as a raunchy R-rated Hollywood comedy can show up for). I wonder how much of a GG contender it is... |

Can Knocked Up get more than Screenplay? |

I really, really hope not. The script is just not that good. But, as Magnus said, Borat - which probably didn't have much of a script - was nominated, so you never know... |
