In a three-way tie, the USC Scripter finalists have been announced. Recognizing the original author and the screenerwriter who adapted it, the USC Libraries annually honoring the Best Adapted Screenplay of the year. The Scripter award this year has cited two comic book adaptations as well as a handful of other Oscar contenders. Noteworthy exclusions here include Wonder, Blade Runner 2049, The Beguiled, Victoria & Abdul, and Wonderstruck. Blade Runner and Beguiled, being adaptations of previous screenplays were likely discounted because of that fact. Since this group prefers literary adaptations, it comes as no surprise. The others take serious hits in terms of Oscar competitiveness.
