Diablo Cody

Diablo Cody is the kind of underdog story I can't resist. She turned a year as a stripper and a candid blog into a memoir, then won an Oscar for the Juno screenplay almost out of nowhere. What I admire most is how she refused to launder her own voice into something safe; she kept the messy, slangy, real way young women actually talk and put it on screen. That authenticity is rare and hard to fake. For a screenwriter to become a household name at all says something, and her refusal to play by industry norms is exactly why I keep rooting for her.
