"Little Person" would be my runner-up choice. It's a great song beautifully used probably more so, but "The Wrestler" is just awesome.

Not to Synechdoce, NY?

I wish I could award it to The Wrestler...

I'd love to bolster WALL-E's tally but "Down to Earth" is a terrible song. "O Saya" takes it.

Why not move forward to Best Supporting Actress, 2008? Rudeboy.

Is Sabin around to take his turn....as he is not playing in the Best by the Best game?

I think Sean Penn is the best performer in this category. Rourke and Jenkins are both strong, but I didn't find either of them as wonderful as their supporters seem to. Pitt is fine in the film, but Langella is the best part of his film. He brings a depth to the proceedings that no one else can find (except Michael Sheen), and this is a great chance to award an unawarded actor. Langella takes it.

WRITING (Screenplay Adapted from Other Material)
The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz -- Screenplay by Mordecai Richler; Adaptation by Lionel Chetwynd
* The Godfather Part II -- Francis Ford Coppola, Mario Puzo
Lenny -- Julian Barry
Murder on the Orient Express -- Paul Dehn
Young Frankenstein -- Gene Wilder, Mel Brooks

Sorry for being late... am I still allowed to give an answer?

If the answer is yes I have to say I haven't seen The Apprenticeship (...) but considering the other four films this is a chance to use a pass and not regreting to do so.

Coppola and Puzo remain the winners.

I considered giving it to Grand Canyon but The Fisher King gets it.

Bugsy was an original screenplay.

Oops... sorry.

In that case my vote goes to JFK
