And there it is — the 80th Annual Oscars Results are in.

Best Original Screenplay: Diablo Cody, “Juno”

So that’s all I really cared about, haven’t seen any of the other films yet anyway. :P

Way to take Hollywood by storm, Diablo. Looking forward to the next work - it can’t be easy, those are some big shoes to keep filled.

Diablo Cody on Letterman

Our favorite not-local-anymore girl was on Letterman again last Tuesday. Did you catch it? Well, I didn’t (no TV), so here it is from youtube:

Always on her game and ready for whatever Dave dishes out. Best line:

Diablo: Phone sex is great training for a screenwriter, because you’re having to try on all these different characters and I mean like — one day you’re a submissive red-head, the next day a German amputee.

Now we only have to await Jennifer’s Body starring Transformer’s Megan Fox. Can’t wait — although I guess I’ll have to for a year or so. Filming begins soon.

Here’s what Diablo had to say about it to MTV.

"Juno" Fulfills My Expectations and More

So I’ve finally seen Juno. Took long enough. As stated earlier, I’ve had it on my “must see” list for a while. So after ditching the NE scene, Kat and I caught the late night show down at the lagoon.

And it was as expected: delightful, witty, and cleverness galore. Everything I’d’ve wanted out of a Diablo Cody script. I especially loved all the little hometown references while we strained to recognize the various Minneapolis film locations. Reminiscent of Napolean Dynamite, Ghost World, Little Miss Sunshine, and Welcome to the Dollhouse, this film leaves us smirking at the multitude of repeatable lines. Here’re a few of my favorites:

Juno MacGuff: [dog barking] God, Banana! Shut your freakin’ gob!

Rollo: So what’s the prognosis, Fertile Myrtle? Minus or plus?
Juno MacGuff: There it is. The little pink plus sign is so unholy.
[shakes pregnancy tester]
Rollo: That ain’t no Etch-A-Sketch. This is one doodle that can’t be un-did, Homeskillet.

Juno MacGuff: I could like, have this baby and give it to someone who like totally needs it.
Leah: You should look in the PennySaver.
Juno MacGuff: They have ads for parents?
Leah: Yeah! ‘Desperately Seeking Spawn.’

Punk Receptionist: Would you like a free condom? They’re boysenberry.
Juno MacGuff: No, thanks. I’m off sex right now.
Punk Receptionist: My boyfriend wears them every time we have intercourse, it makes his junk smell like pie.

Mac MacGuff: Next time I see that Bleeker kid I’m going to punch him in the wiener.

Juno MacGuff: I’m just gonna go ahead an nip this thing in the bud. Cuz you know, they say pregnancy often leads to, you know…
[brief pause]
Juno MacGuff: …infants.

What's this? Diablo Cody's back on the market?

[ears perk up — huh? what’s that?]

And she’s got new ink to cover the old to prove it. Photographers were all over this at her Juno premier with Jonny on hand regardless. I think it’s great when two people decide they need to move more apart than more together and can still be on the same team. It certainly is more of a challenge after a relationship, but a friendship is always worth saving.

Good karma to you both. Now go see the movie — out in theater’s now! And — have you read her book yet?
