Walter Kirn, the writer of ‘Up in the Air’ is fliyng high with movie
Many authors dream their book becomes a film blockbuster.  But writer Walter Kirn is pleasing the pessimistic aspect of fellow Minnesota script writer Garrison Keillor as he watches the picture side of his book, “Up in the Air,” climb to serious and box task success.
“I’m a Minnesotan,” Kirn tells to reporters. “We fancy too big, we’re going to be humbled.”
The collapse-era tale “Up in the Air” led Golden Globe skin contenders Tuesday with six nominations, among the best drama and acting honors for George Clooney, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick.
The 67th yearly Golden Globe nominations for best performance by an actor in a supporting function in a movement picture have been announced in Beverly Hills, Calif. by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
