A more appropriate analogy would be how a nobody hit a foul ball but the league decided to call it a Grand Slam and award her with the MVP award as well. The script is not excellent.

She can't write and it's all people trying to make money off her story and... and... and so she's not a fucking saint, who cares? Ever hear of Courtney Love, Frances Farmer, or Marilyn Monroe? They weren't angels either but they're good at what they do (or did in Frances and Marilyn's case) just like Diablo Cody. Her past doesn't really affect her success as a writer. And if she has some weird writing style or whatever the hell it is everyone's saying, good for her. If everyone did everything the same, I think I would have to shoot myself from how dull life would be.

I've read probably 30 pages. Seemed overly concerned with making every single char quirky. I'd say the film owes a lot to the actors. Nevertheless, ever since *the thin script* of Lost in Translation received a nom - and won! - I'm not expecting much from the Academy anymore. Don't think anyone reads the scripts.
