Will Win: Dustin Lance Black for Milk
With Penn and Rourke so close in the Best Actor race, this may be the only shot that voters have to honor the greatly beloved "Milk". It also seems that in recent years the Academy loves giving out prizes to first-time screenwriters and Dustin Lance Black certainly fits that bill.
Dustin's other notable work is HBO drama series Big Love about a polygamistic Mormon family.
Should Win: Andrew Stanton, Jim Reardon and Pete Doctor for Wall-E
It's hard for something with little dialogue to win an Oscar in what many think is a line-writing contest, but Wall-E should take home this prize with a gorgeously funny story that had a real theme it explored with the perfect amount of subtlety. As good as film writing gets.
