Tom Perrota, a nominee for best adpated screenplay for “Little Children,” got the news in Boston where he lives. He wasn’t watching the television because he said the tension of the Golden Globes got the best of him: “There’s an aspect of a bad dream, waiting for someone to say your name on television. I told my agent to call me if the news was good.”
It was. He got a call.
Its more the feeling of relief and then real pleasure. I expect the worst. Now I can continue my Zelig-like appearances at places I don’t belong.”
