As he walked to the stage the announcer (at least on TV - don't know if it was live) said Michael had quit his job as assistant to Matthew Broderick to write the LMS script. Wow. A little inspiration for all you struggling writers out there who aren't currently working your dream jobs.
The last thing he did in his acceptance speech was talk about a 600-mile journey by van across the United States with a broken clutch -- and that it made for some of the best moments he's ever had with his family, who he thanked.
Congrats from Fox Searchlight Michael!
Michael's competitors:
Guillermo Arriaga, “Babel”
Iris Yamashita and Paul Haggis, “Letters From Iwo Jima”
Guillermo del Toro, “Pan’s Labyrinth”
Peter Morgan, “The Queen”
"Best Original Screenplay."
