t/f: movies nom'd for best original/adapted screenplay are generally better than movies nominated for best film in the same year?

Woody's first noticeably, sourly misogynistic hit

― Pope Rusty I (Dr Morbius), Monday, 25 March 2013 03:07 (twelve years ago)

Venus: Do you want the blue stuff or the green?
Olive: The imported, dummy.
Venus: Oh, you mean from the *clean* bathtub.

― alternately mean and handsy (Eric H.), Monday, 25 March 2013 03:08 (twelve years ago)

Yeah, he really dropped that sour demeanor with Deconstructing Harry.

― alternately mean and handsy (Eric H.), Monday, 25 March 2013 03:09 (twelve years ago)

that was exhilarating misanthropy, which i can endorse.

Looks like my vote didn't get counted.

― alternately mean and handsy (Eric H.), Tuesday, 26 March 2013 03:35 (twelve years ago)

How the hell was Groundhog Day not nominated? That might be my favorite script of the 90s.
