Ang Lee got best director, and they got best screenplay from another source (whatever it is exactly) and best score, I think.
Memoirs of a Geisha got a lot of awards, but amazingly wasn't nominated in the best screenplay from another source (whatever, as I said) catagory. Yet it's source novel was probably the best known of all of them.
By who?
"best screenplay from another source (whatever it is exactly)"
A 9 page short story, according to someone on the radio.
