The Hugo and John W. Campbell Award finalists, 2007 were announced last week. Among the announcements were nominations for Dramatic Presentation, Long Form a.k.a. “Best Science Fiction screenplay”. I thought that “Children of Men” was on the ‘net, but apparently I was mistaken. I guess this is my own April Fools joke on myself. At least three of the five nominated screenplays are on the ‘net.
