Davis wasn't THE predicted to win. It was a very close race between her, Bancroft and Page. Bancroft won Cannes and NBR, while Page won GG. Davis had a lotStarted by:

Did Titanic deserve a screenplay nomination?
1 2
M: The OriginalNo. Its script is pedestrian. James Cameron's directorial prowess is why Titanic works at all.
arodfanHaven’t seen Helena from that lineup but even the rest are quite uninspired, Julie Christie was so random…
Helena was great, Dench was good, the rest aren't that interesting. Overall, a pretty boring category.Started by:

Sally Kirkland in 1988 when she lost to Cher

Straight vs Laurie.
RobertPiusThe great story from Laurie's bio is that her husband was a film critic for the Village Voice at the time. He knew DePalma's work from the Phantom of the Paradise so he told her DePalma makes horror comedies. So Laurie showed up at the first day of r

Gabe GuarinGeena Davis didn't have ANY precursor nominations before she won. Her win was a huge shock I imagine
Milk MoneyDavis was the leading contender, which has accounted for most surprise wins in this category. Couple that with Weaver’s aggressive studio campaigning for GITM, and the villainess nature of her WG role, it’s understandable why Davis, whose studio
