Anche il sindacato degli sceneggiatori ha scelto i suoi migliori.
Purtroppo per questioni sindacali erano stati preventivamente esclusi sia Inglourious Basterds, sia An Education, sia Up, District 9, Fantastic Mr.Fox, Nine e The Road: senza dubbio, alcuni dei migliori copioni dell’anno.
L’attendibilità di queste scelte è pertanto molto discutibile e parziale.
Comunque ecco le nominations per le sceneggiature originali e gli adattamenti:
