[Edwin Pereyra]

Interesting to see that Far From Heaven is not nominated in any of the Screenplay Awards - the same minor problem I had with the film.
Having seen all of the Best Feature nominated films except for Tully, my vote right now goes to The Good Girl. But certainly, I can understand if Far From Heaven wins.

I've seen the same 4 Best Feature films as Edwin, and I agree -- I'd like to see "The Good Girl" get it. But I'd like to see the Sprecher's "13 Conversations" win over it for Best Screenplay. "13 Conversations" deserved a spot in the Best Feature noms. I love James Spader, but I just find "Secretary" overrated.

I think "Tully" is opening later this month here.
