Sunday night’s Academy Award ceremony was, as far as I’m concerned, just one more step on the road to ruin that all showbiz award shows now are skidding along on.
Any number of websites – including this one – can name the winners and losers in most categories, including Asshole Actor of the Year Will Smith, so all I’m going to do now is list the screenplay winners and nominees.
Here we go:
WRITING (ADAPTED SCREENPLAY)
WINNER
CODA
NOMINEES
DRIVE MY CAR
DUNE
THE LOST DAUGHTER
THE POWER OF THE DOG
WRITING (ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY)
WINNER
BELFAST
NOMINEES
DON’T LOOK UP
KING RICHARD
LICORICE PIZZA
THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD
Congrats to all the nominees (but especially the writers)!
For what it’s worth, while putting this together I noticed that the Best Screenplay category winners and nominees are listed dead last on the Film Academy site (2022 | Oscars.org | Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences).
Ah well, at least they were still announced during primetime. Wonder if that’ll still be the case next year.
Congrats to all the writers above. I’m proud as hell of you. And, yes, I fucking loved CODA.
