Wonder Boys

While Grady is obsessed with his book, one of his students (Tobey Maguire) has an obsession of his own: finding a jacket once owned by Marilyn Monroe. Based on the novel by Michael Chabon, The Wonder Boys also features Robert Downey Jr., Rip Torn, and Richard Thomas. Nominated for Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published at the **Academy Awards, USA**. Nominated for Best Motion Picture at the **Golden Globes, USA**.
