The Oscar nominations were announced this morning, and what a very nice surprise to see three women in the Original Screenplay category and a fourth in the Adapted Screenplay category. The nominees are:
Diablo Cody for Juno
Nancy Oliver for Lars and the Real Girl
Tamara Jenkins for The Savages
Sarah Polley for Away from Her (Adapted Screenplay)
Screenwriting still tends to be a very male dominated field, so four women being recognized for their superb contributions to film is way overdue. Congratulations and may the best woman win!
