With Emilia Pérez officially an adapted screenplay submission this is as good a time as any to kick off predictions for adapted and original screenplay.
That move doesn’t change its status with the Writers Guild where the screenplay is ineligible. As a signatory guild, you’re required to be a member in order to be nominated there, unlike the Directors Guild, for example. WGA nominations come out January 9, 2025.
Academy Awards nominations will be announced January 17, 2025 and the 97th Oscars will be held on March 2.
Here are my 2025 Oscar predictions in Adapted Screenplay and Original Screenplay for October.
