Oscars: 'Milk,' 'Slumdog' Win Screenplay Awards

DateSunday, February 22, 2009 at 7:03PM
Best Original Screenplay:
Frozen River
Happy-Go-Lucky
In Bruges
Milk
Wall-E

Winner: Dustin Lance Black - Milk

Probably not a real surprise if you've been following the awards season, and as it became more clear that the number of probable Oscars for Milk diminshed, Dustin Lance Black's script became the one award the film could most likely count on.

Best Adapted Screenplay:
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Doubt
Frost/Nixon
The Reader
Slumdog Millionaire

Winner: Simon Beaufoy - Slumdog Millionaire

It's the best screenplay in this category, and the first domino to fall, most likely.
