Congrats to Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana for a great screenplay, and my THANKS to them for so faithfully and lovingly working with Annie Proulx's unparalled, luminescent short story. Thanks also to Annie for bringing Ennis and Jack to us.

Congratulations to BBM and all the fans. Wonderful news :D

Congrats to Mr McMurtry and Ms Ossana on their WGA win!!!!
This almost guarantees them an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.

What an excellent news. Thanks and congrats.
Just think about how many years passed since Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana wrote the screenplay - this award should really mean a lot to them, as well as Annie Proulx and everybody who contributed to the movie.
