Variety reports that John Wells, president of the Humanitas Prize, has announced its finalists for 2008. The prize honors—with cash—TV and film writing that "explores the human condition in a way which affirms the dignity of the human person and reveals common humanity." Diablo Cody's Oscar-winning Juno screenplay is among the feature film nominees, along with The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Ronald Harwood and Lars and the Real Girl by Nancy Oliver. TV nominations include multiple-Emmy winner Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Daniel Giat and episodes of Boston Legal, John Adams, The Wire, and Scrubs. Winners will be announced on Sept. 17.—Movietimes.com Movie News Bureau
