Big Fish gets five Broadcast Film Critics Award nominations
Earlier this week, we were happy to learn that Big Fish got five Broadcast Film Critics Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director (Tim Burton), Best Writer (John), Best Song (Pearl Jam’s “Man of the Hour”) and Best Score (Danny Elfman). Although I never believe it when I hear other people say it, it’s an honor just to be nominated.
It’s a little odd that the category I’m in is called “Best Writer.” Usually, the writing awards are called “Best Screenplay.” But I guess since they give the award to a person, not a movie, it does sort of make sense.
Who knows if we’ll win any awards. One good thing is that we’ll know soon: The awards are going to be held January 10, 2004 in Beverly Hills, and broadcast live on E!. (Do you have to put a period on a sentence that ends with E!? I’ll be sure to ask.)

John,
Congratulations on being nominated for Best Writer. I have heard from some of my relatives that have seen it that Big Fish is a very good movie. I plan to see it soon.

I remember when, almost ten years ago, a friend Dave Cushner, would talk about you. He would tell me that you were going to be a very successful screenwriter one day. It’s fun for me to think about those days, and that he’s right! Congratulations on Big Fish.
