Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor The finalists for the 36th USC Libraries Script Awards, honoring the most accomplished films and episodic series adaptations, have been announced. Among the selected are “American Fiction,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Oppenheimer” and “Poor Things,” all top-tier contenders for Oscar attention.
Ava DuVernay’s drama “Origin” was a surprise entry in the lineup, making her the second Black woman recognized by the awards body (the first was Dee Rees for 2017’s “Mudbound”). A strong bellwether for the Oscars’ best adapted screenplay category, previous Scripter winners that have matched the Academy in the last decade include “12 Years a Slave” (2013), “The Imitation Game” (2014), “The Big Short” (2015), “Moonlight” (2016), “Call Me by Your Name” (2017), “Nomadland” (2020) and “Women Talking” (2022).
Spike Lee’s “BlacKkKlansman” (2019) is the only Scripter-eligible film to win the Academy Award without being nominated by the organization. One of the notable omissions from the group is Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” but it’s unclear if the movie submitted for consideration since it was deemed original by the WGA.
Other snubs include Andrew Haigh’s “All of Us Strangers,” Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” and Kelly Fremon Craig’s “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.” On the television side, hit shows such as Netflix’s “The Crown,” Prime Video’s “Daisy Jones and the Six” and Max’s “The Last of Us” nabbed recognition. Notable surprise entries include Max’s now-cancelled “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty” and Apple’s “Slow Horses.” The selection committee selected the finalists from a field of 80 films and 56 episodic series.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor The Oscars nominations might not have given everything the people wanted, but diversity in the acting categories had several high points to celebrate.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Put your pencils down, and pass your ballots to the front. The nominations voting period for the 96th Academy Awards is now closed. The latest influences on the race came from the Critics Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, where Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” topped both groups.
While Barbie received the most nods any film had ever received in the history of the Critics Choice Awards with a whopping 18 nominations, it was Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer that cleaned up on the night.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor The SAG Awards nominations provided an exciting blend of usual suspects and stunning omissions. For some awards season strategists — particularly the ones behind critically adored films like “Anatomy of a Fall” and “May December” — there’s no choice but to ask, “what happened?” The SAG Awards’ pearl anniversary brought expected mentions for Oscar contenders such as the two summer smash hits “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” leading the tally for all movies with four nominations each. In addition, the crime epic “Killers of the Flower Moon” and the satirical dramedy “American Fiction” managed three mentions.
