Things are looking promising…
Emerald Fennell’s visceral and brilliant screenplay for Promising Young Woman made some commotion last week as another wave of critics screenings of the film hit to unsurprising raves. It enters the top 5 and bumps down fellow Focus Features film Never Rarely Sometimes Always this month.
A ton of new entries including Let Them All Talk, starring Meryl Streep from HBO Max (it will compete in film categories for awards) and the newly announced Malcolm & Marie, which is hitting Netflix in February.
Here are my ranked 2021 Oscar predictions in Original Screenplay for November.
