I can say that this is a great script, as I've been reading some pages around the internet and I'll surely buy this book very soon. The dialogue, as well as the whole script, is very realistic, and also very enjoyable.
I can't say if it really deserved the Award, but I can say that this script deserves to be read by every screenwriting fan.

Dan Futterman is a genius. It is pure magicianship how he weaves the texts of "Capote" the biography, "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote and whatever other research material he depended on, (not to mention his own witty imagination) into this gripping, thorough, and accomplished story. I am so sorry he got knocked down by the "Brokeback" voters - I've read both screenplays and their source materials and have seen both movies and this is by far the more insightful and entertaining. A must for any student of film writing. I look forward to Dan Futterman's future works. JPN, Bronx, NY
