WGAs go SIDEWAYS for ETERNAL SUNSHINE...
February 21st, 2005
"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," a quirky love story about two people trying to erase their memories of each other, won best original screenplay Saturday night at the 57th Annual Writers Guild Awards. The screenplay was written by Charlie Kaufman from a story by Kaufman, Michel Gondry and Pierre Bismuth. The film starred Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. Best adapted screenplay went to "Sideways," the road trip romp through Southern California wine country that charmed critics and audiences alike. The screenplay by Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor was based on Rex Pickett's novel.
"Eternal Sunshine" beat out screenwriter John Logan for the Howard Hughes film biography "The Aviator"; Zach Braff for the romance "Garden State"; Keir Pearson and Terry George for "Hotel Rwanda," based on a true story amid the 1994 Rwandan genocide; and Bill Condon for "Kinsey," a film biography of sexuality researcher Alfred Kinsey.
In other awards, Tony Kushner's "Angels in America" won long-form adapted writing for television for Kushner's HBO teleplay, which was based on his play. The long-form original writing award went to Peter Silverman and Robert Caswell for HBO's "Something the Lord Made." Winners were announced in ceremonies held in Beverly Hills and New York.
