La University of Southern California ha svelato le candidature per il 2019 degli adattamenti cinematografici e televisivi dell’anno secondo l’associazione delle biblioteche del grande plesso universitario americano. Gli USC Scripter Awards da sempre sono un ottimo barometro per stabilire chi è il favorito nella categoria della sceneggiatura non originale.

Nella sezione cinematografica spiccano The Irishman, Jojo Rabbit, Piccole donne e, un po a sorpresa, Dark Waters di Todd Haynes. Nella cinquina è presente anche I due papi, scritto da Anthony McCarten e ispirato in parte ad una sua opera teatrale. Se la Writers Guild ha scelto invece di inserirlo tra le sceneggiature originali, gli Scripter e anche l’Academy la penseranno al contrario.

Tra i candidati televisivi, ottimo bottino per Fleabag e Watchmen:
Film nominees:
Matthew Carnahan and Mario Correa for “Dark Waters” based on the New York Times Magazine article “The Lawyer Who Became DuPont’s Worst Nightmare” by Nathaniel Rich
Steven Zaillian for “The Irishman” based on the nonfiction work “I Heard You Paint Houses” by Charles Brandt
Taika Waititi for “Jojo Rabbit” based on the novel “Caging Skies” by Christine Leunens
Greta Gerwig for “Little Women” based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott
Anthony McCarten for “The Two Popes” based on his play “The Pope”
Television nominees:
Phoebe Waller-Bridge for the first episode of “Fleabag” based on her one-woman play of the same name
Joel Fields and Steven Levenson for the episode “Nowadays” from “Fosse/Verdon,” based on the biography “Fosse” by Sam Wasson
Emerald Fennell for the episode “Nice and Neat” from “Killing Eve,” based on the novel “Codename Villanelle” by Luke Jennings
Susannah Grant, Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman for the first episode of “Unbelievable,” based on the article “An Unbelievable Story of Rape” by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong
Damon Lindelof and Cord Jefferson for the episode “This Extraordinary Being” from “Watchmen,” based on the comic book series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons
