Geoffrey Fletcher won Best Adapted Screenplay for Precious.
So, that's not really an angle...if this was Best Original Screenplay, it would be.
But, since Fletcher already won, that would be a great "storyline" to go with.
Ridley returning to the WGA after going out in a blaze of glory as a ficore during the Writers Strike screams of "bad boy seeking redemption" *COULD* be a potential storyline...
Ridley going ficore: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oew-ridley8jan08,0,170282.story
even though he's since gone back and is a member of the WGA, I could see a few bringing this up....
