Organizzati annualmente dalla USC (University of South California) e dal sistema bibliotecario della università californiana, gli Scripter Awards da alcuni anni premiano e riconoscono il meglio degli adattamenti del grande e del piccolo schermo.
Suddivisi nelle due categorie cinematografiche e televisive, quest’anno le loro menzioni non presentano grandi shock o titoli clamorosamente snobbati, se non per la sceneggiatura adattata di Animali Notturni di Tom Ford. Sempre più forti in categoria titoli come Moonlight, Arrival e Barriere.
Nella sezione televisiva grandi menzioni per Il Trono di Spade e Il caso O.J. Simpson:
Categoria cinematografica:
- Scriptcreenwriter Eric Heisserer for “Arrival,” adapted from the novella “Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang
- August Wilson for the play and screenplay of “Fences”
- Screenwriters Allison Schroeder and Theodore Melfi for “Hidden Figures,” based on the nonfiction book by Margot Lee Shetterly
