Benson's Bedside Companion was nominated for an Edgar Allen Poe award back when it was first released. I seem to recall someone else Bond-related winning or being nominated as well.

Good news, as always. :cooltongue:

That's an amazing group of films to be nominated against. To the point where I wouldn't automatically say "Casino Royale" should get it.

"Casino Royale, Screenplay by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade & Paul Haggis,...."

Surely the bold type should read: "Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Paul Haggis"?

maybe they're recognising them as a whole, and not with P&W as a team.

Shame we lost.

And isn't it interesting to see that both Thunderball and Licence to Kill were previously nominated? I remember a lot of comparisons being made about CR to both of those when pictures of the embassy chase and Ocean Club scenes began to surface.

I agree that CASINO ROYALE was quality. But I must admit that so was THE DEPARTED. It was the most unusual Scorsese crime drama I had ever seen.

I'm obviously biased, but I would choose Casino Royale over The Departed any day.

Oh, me too. Although if forced to pick between Infernal Affairs and The Departed, that's a much tougher call.
