As with last month, the screenplay categories remain awash with potential placement switches.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, The Farewell and Ford v Ferrari could show up at either. The original screenplay for the latter was based on A. J. Baime’s 2010 book Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans but was reworked by by writers Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth. Is it different enough to be considered a new screenplay? It seems doubtful so for now I’m keeping it in Adapted. I’m taking The Farewell out of Adapted and keeping it in Original and the reverse for ABDITN.
Elsewhere, Greta Gerwig’s Little Women remake ekes up into the top five while Martin Scorsese Jimmy Hoffa gangster epic The Irishman lands the top spot for the month.
Here are my ranked 2020 Oscar Nomination predictions in Adapted Screenplay for June 11, 2019.
