Animation could have a banner year with Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio and Marcel the Shell with Shoes On making their way into the top 10 for Adapted Screenplay. My top 5 remains pretty solid with Glass Onion, set to premiere in theaters for a one-week exclusive beginning the day before Thanksgiving, notching up one.
Over in Original Screenplay, The Banshees of Inisherin also moves up one to the #2 spot in a very competitive field of some of the most celebrated screenplays of the year. The box office success The Menu, one of the year’s many ‘eat the rich’ stories, gains steam as well, and Aftersun grabs a new spot in the top 10.
We won’t hear from the Writers Guild until their nominations at the end of January but over the next two months between critics groups and more we’ll start to see things take shape.
Here are my 2023 Oscar predictions in Adapted Screenplay and Original Screenplay for November.
