...and just how many of these nominations have you seen? I can't believe you would merely list the nominations and not comment on them.

Well, since I've only seen one of the films that were mentioned, I didn't feel qualified to comment.

1. Borat - adapted from what?

3. Peter Morgan (who won the Golden Globe) also adapted The Last King of Scotland
