The nominees for the 35th USC Scripter Awards have been announced. Seen as a precursor to Best Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars, this year, the film nominees here are Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, Living, She Said, Top Gun: Maverick, and Women Talking. The latter seems like the frontrunner here and at Oscar for Sarah Polley, but the winner here and with the Writers Guild Awards will certainly have a major say in the matter.
Here are the USC Scripter nominees for this year:
