Sono state annunciate le nomination ai 33° USC Scripter Awards, i premi assegnati ogni anno alle sceneggiature adattate (cinematografiche e televisive) da parte dell’associazione delle biblioteche dalla University of Southern California.
Nella sezione cinematografica ci sono due adattamenti da piéce teatrali, uno da un articolo di giornale, e due da romanzi di fiction e d’inchiesta; dominano quindi titoli come Nomadland e First Cow, ma non mancano nemmeno Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom e One Night in Miami.
Per quanto riguarda la TV, ottimi risultati per La regina degli scacchi, Unothodox e la serie evento Hulu Normal People.
