| Best Adapted Screenplay | ||||
| I'm overjoyed at the fact that this year the Academy realized the brilliance of the adaption of J. R. R. Tolkien's legendary literature. They also realized that Brian Helgeland's screenplay was just cut and paste material, City of God was really not that amazing, American Spledor and Seabiscuit were worthy competitors, but nothing compares to the king. Winner:The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King-Phillipa Boyens, Fran Walsh, & Peter Jackson Other Nominees:American Splendor-Shari Springer Berman & Robert Pulcinni City of God-Braulio Mantolvanni Mystic River-Brian Helgeland Seabiscuit-Gary Ross |
