Here are today’s rankings for the 84th Oscar Adapted Screenplay race (2011-2012 awards season), with previous ranking shown in parenthesis after each entry.
I could see either The Descendants or Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close winning this, but went with Payne’s team for now.
My list also feels a bit too commercial, as the writers love to throw in some independent films. I’m thinking Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Carnage, We Need To Talk About Kevin, Drive or My Week With Marilyn might surprise here. Or possibly Jane Eyre, One Day, The Flowers Of War, Wuthering Heights or A Better Life? Let me know in the comments!
