Oh I know and I hear you. What I like about that contest is that they are up front about how they judge. I know someone who judges for Austin and they are encouraged to read up to page 20 or 30. So, yes writers should focus on the whole script - because if contest judges/ readers gets past the first 15 and keep going then it better be great all the way up to page 120 right? Last years winner also won Blue Cat. Same script different title I think. Anywhoo. Yep focus on writing a kick ass scr...

If I see a screenplay with another GD title that has "Douchebag" in it I am going to scream... Maybe I should write a script called DOUCHEBAG - 3D - IN SPACE

Why wasn't there more animated features up for best animated picture? Only 3? I know TS3 will probably walk away with Best Animated Picture but Tangled should have been nominated too... and also Tron since most of that movie was CGI animated (ha! I kid) - But, I don't think it's fair that a picture gets nominated in two categories and one one category only has 3 other pics in it - am I crazy here?

All Ron Moore had to do is say "Supernatural CSI" and bam his TV show got picked up to Pilot.... Reading it now. It's okay... nothing earth shattering yet just straightforward Cop procedural
-
Enjoyed Harry's Law last night on NBC - they actually pulled off a smart, funny action packed show like their sister network USA.... I'll give it another go next week. Anybody else see it?

Um... wow ... nice get on BSG Blood and Chrome!

Natalie Portman, Pregnant and engaged... sorry boys ...

I can't believe how big the Black List gets every year... I think they should divide it into categories (Comedy Drama Adaption Graphic Novel etc etc. So, I have 2 beefs: 1) I don't think writers who adapt a best selling book should be on there unless they actually wrote the book... 2) In one of the categories there should be specs (writers that are new) vs. established writers ... Don't know if that all makes sense

I don't have issue with either of the beefs you mention: if the black list is about essentially most popular writing, why does it matter if it is from source material (which still takes an skill to adapt) or established writers. It isn't a list to promote new writers or to promote unadapted works.
That being said - I'm very glad there is the HIT LIST and it's fun to compare how things shake out between the two.

True true. And I just watched Franklin Leonard's speech. He does say that his intent was to find new voices and / or new scripts that people love. So, the Black List are the most "loved" scripts in Tinsel Town no matter the genre or subject matter... All I have to say is ... I wish I had time to read them all =)
