Not many surprises here. Foolishly, I had predicted five 'dramedies' to be nominated for Best Original Screenplay - foolishly, but correctly. Although, they replaced Beginners with Young Adult - both strong scripts, in my opinion. I also missed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for Adapted, going instead for The Ides of March. It seems now that perhaps Ides isn't going to receive the across-the-board support I expected it could from the guilds - will Dragon Tattoo take its place? Could it even bag a DGA nomination? Of all the films which don't seem so likely to do so, though, I'm still thinking it might be The Help. Of course, The Artist wasn't eligible here, but is still the frontrunner in the Original category, although should Midnight in Paris win here, it'd be a big boost for that film. I can see any of the nominees in either main category winning in such an open year.
