2018 Oscar Predictions: ADAPTED SCREENPLAY – Call Me By Your Name Looks Peachy

Published by

Adapted Screenplay might be one of the most ‘locked’ categories come Oscar night and when (if) James Ivory wins for Call Me By Your Name he will become the oldest Oscar winner ever at 89. Ivory, of the famous Merchant-Ivory period films of the 80s and 90s, should easily earn his first Oscar here, his first nomination for writing (he has three for directing). The 1980s set summer romance has been the critics’ favorite in this category with 11 prizes. It’s also the only Best Picture nominee in the bunch. Everyone else will just have to be happy to have been nominated.

It’s not likely that WGA, BAFTA or the USC scripter will divert from Call Me By Your Name but if any of them do it will be worth keeping an eye on.

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
