In honor of the Academy Awards later this evening, we’ve updated the JoBlo Script Archives with nominees from the Best Adapted and Best Original Screenplay categories. All the requisite nominees are here with the exception of LARS AND THE REAL GIRL, which has not made its way online yet. So if you’ve got a lazy Sunday ahead of you, take a gander at all these scripts, read em all on the couch and have an educated guess when the big show kicks off. Of course you could also use your newfound wisdom to give you an edge in the JoBlo.com Oscar Predict Contest but you didn’t hear that from me…
