As
with the recent Golden Globes and National Board of Review awards, a casual
perusal of the nominees of the 84th Academy Awards will reveal that
the a majority of the year’s most highly regarded films were based on novels.
For
the purposes of this blog, the Oscar that I am most interested in is the
Academy Award for Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay) – which is awarded each
year to the writer of a screenplay that has been adapted from another source.
And
the nominees are: The Descendents, Hugo, The Ides of March, Moneyball and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
Hollywood's
biggest night is scheduled for February 26. What film are you backing for the win?
I've not seen any of these movies for "best adapted screenplay" but I'd love to see The Help do well at the Oscars. Chances are slim but I can hope. =)
