FEATURES: Eye on the Oscars - Writers Roundup
A final shout out to the Features department this year as a trio of stories tackle those slaving away on Final Draft and Movie Magic.
Steven Gaydos first talks to "Ratatouille" scribe Brad Bird about due respect to animation writers, while David Cohen draws parallels between "Atonement" and "The Kite Runner" on another front.
There is also a great piece from Cohen's upcoming book, "Screen Plays: How 25 Scripts Made It to a Theater Near You -- For Better or Worse." Cohen talks to screewnriter and novelist Michael Cunningham about the differences between writing for the page and writing for the screen.
And of course, how can the round-up be complete without an Oscar quiz? How savy are you when it comes to Oscar's history with screenwriters?
