As soon as we thought we could predict the outcome of the Oscars, here comes another surprise! This one's brought to you by the Writers Guild of America. Picked for Best Original Screenplay was Christopher Nolan's "Inception." The director, famously dissed for not getting a Best Director Oscar nomination, may just win the Best Original Screenplay come Oscar night. Oscar front-runner, "The King's Speech" was not nominated because it didn't quality under union rules which prompted Nolan to say during his WGA acceptance award that he looked forward to a time when he could accept the award "without qualification."
That could be the beginning of a great script Mr. Nolan, go write it :happy
For adapted screenplay, I'm happy to report that Aaron Sorkin's fantastic script won! Based on "The Accidental Billionaires" by Ben Mezrich, "The Social Network" was the only film last year that I predicted to win this very category.

The recession really knocked the pants off this country in the past two years, but if there's any shine on the economic turd it's that at least Williamsburg is cool again. Sure the trust fund kids took a hit when the market tanked, but real estate got cheap again and the Yupsters thinned out. So what better time to bring back Brooklyn hipster comedy The Burg? The indie web series from Brooklyn-based Dinosaur Diorama, the same team behind All's Faire and Vuguru's The All-For-Nots, is back with its first full-length episode since 2007. The 20-minute episode, "Change" (above) is also the show's longest, starting off with a catchup of what happened since Xander's season-ending autobiomentary . Xander (Matt Yaeger) fills us in on his posse—Courtney (Kelli Giddish) is moving out of The Burg, heading to La for a TV show gig and Ryan (Jeff Skowron) is losing his grip on sanity.
