One of the unique things that the USC Scripter does with its award for Adapted Screenplay is to also award that script’s source. Looking at the five nominated today from the group I feel very confident this will be the final five who will earn Oscar nominations in less than two weeks. The Gold Rush Gang agrees.
The most remarkable thing about this list is that three of the five detail stories of the African-American experience and one from the point of view of an Indian boy and man, which is a first in my recollection. The five finalists also come from top tier Best Picture hopefuls.
The USC Scripter award began in 1988 with the TV award added last year. The Scripter selection committee, which is chaired by USC professor and WGA president Howard Rodman, chose the finalists from a field of 80 film and 45 TV adaptations. Interesting that qualified as Adapted here but Original at WGA. It will compete in Adapted at the Oscars.
The awards will be handed out February 11th at a ceremony in the Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial Library at USC.
