Hey folks, Harry here - for you trying to keep up with the Awards mania - The Writers Guild has just announced their nominations for the Original and Adapted screenplays of the year. While 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN was funny as hell - it is rather rare to see that type of film get nominated - maybe they're getting loose. The Oscars could go this route - as they're usually pretty darn close. What's missing? BTW - John Stewart is HOSTING this year's ACADEMY AWARDS - which means - it'll be the best show ever. Can't wait. Here's the noms...
