Group 2a - (really quickly...isn't 'Shadow of a Doubt' an original screenplay?) preserve 'Shadow of a Doubt' in Motion Picture Story. Really quick answer - no! Really long answer - we go through this every time we come across a year with the very confusing original story category. For a number of y...

The issue isn't one of compensation but of being associated with a campaign that is totally at odds with their beliefs. I was watching CNN over breakfast.
