The 2nd Official HDC Oscar Awards 2007-2008
Good morning HDC,
Hello and welcome to the 2nd Official HDC Oscar Awards, for the year 2007-2008.

The most important aspect of a movie is its screenplay. That decides the course of the entire plotline, and thats why writers can afford to go on strike for their demands, and thats why our own Sean Keller commands so much respect in HDC and in Hollywood.

Though I was rooting for Bug, personally. |
i've not seen behind the mask - is it any good? (ok a kind of silly question given it won this award)
|
Zodiac's screenplay was fucking brilliant. Never before has a crime movie been so intricate and precise. Bravo.
