Will win - Slumdog Millionaire - Simon Beaufoy
For taking an anecdotal novel and weaving it into the most beloved film of the year. Our first chance to get into the "Slumdog" lovefest. This is an easy win for Simon Beaufoy. This movie just isn't going to lose any of its three major nominees.
Should win - Doubt Movie - John Patrick Shanley
"Doubt" may have been one of the worst-directed good films in recent memory, but its screenplay was nearly as strong as the multi-award-winning play on which it was based. Brilliantly layered, a theme that grabs you at the beginning, and characters so richly drawn that Viola Davis got an Oscar nomination for appearing in one scene. This is not a very strong category, but "Doubt" is certainly worthy of an Oscar.
Anothe great script by the winner Simon Beaufoy is The Full Monty - 1997 British comedy film.

I have never seen any story like Slumdog Millionaire. Not only was the heart of the story and plot very different than anything I've ever seen, but the WAY it was told was very well thought out. I loved how they used the flashbacks, and how they jump cut to the various stages in his life.
So to answer your question, Simon Beaufoy will win and should the best adapted Screenplay Oscar for 2009.
