With a victory for best original script win for ”Aor“At Writers Guild Awards 2025It certifies Sean Baker film as Top challenger for best pictureAlthough other Oscar -nominated “Subject”, “September 5” and “The Brutalist” were not eligible for the award that has not been written by Guild members or according to a WGA collective agreement.
“Anora” had already won the top prize on Due to Awards and DGA AWARDS Last weekend, with its Critics Choice Award for Best Movie as a nice bonus. The only other movie that won over these Guilder and WGA but still won’t win the best picture is “Brokeback Mountain” 2006. The Great Harbinger indicating that the Ang Lee movie would not be Sejla at Oscars was “crash” winning best ensemble at Sag AwardsSo a victory at the specific prize in the coming week is crucial for Neon Release’s Dominant Awards campaign.
All that said, there is another best picture -nominated that has been on a significant rise that originates from these guild prices, which takes place simultaneously with final Oscar voting. That movie is’Nickel boys. “Orion Pictures is released directed by Ramell Ross won both best customized script on WGA AWARDS And Michael Apted Award for outstanding director in the first time theater film at DGA Awards.
Although Ross is not nominated as the best director at Oscars, he is nominated for the best custom script along with Joslyn Barneswhich is also one of Producers nominated to the best picture On behalf of the film. The other two are Jeremy Kleiner and Dede Gardner of plan B entertainment.
However, it is more remarkable in this category that other Oscar -Nominated “Sing Sing”, “Emilia Pérez” and “Conclave“Don’t be eligible for the WGAs. This is because “Conclave”, the papal election drama written by Peter Straughan, who adapts the Robert Harris novel of the same name, has so far been the category of Frontrunner. Straughn won both Critics Choice Award and Golden worldBut has not yet won an award voted by People in the Academy. But that should change soon, as Straughan is expected to win at BAftas on Sunday.
What can ultimately determine which movie wins the best adapted script Oscar is not BAftas but the USC Scriptter Awards, a price that leans on “Nickel Boys.” That award is on a hot streak, after predicting the last two Oscar winners, including “American Fiction” and “Women Talking.” In summary, both of these films also happened to be Orion Pictures editions.
However, “Conclave” is not to be calculated, although the WGA Awards have predicted the last four best adapted script winners in a row, as it is an extremely popular film. But the other statistics that should cause the film a certain concern is that it has been seven years since the Oscar Prize for best adapted script was not awarded the film’s director. About his reception at the DGA Awards, where all five best directors nominated stood up to cheer on him, was some indication, Ross and his movie “Nickel Boys” have the most momentum when the Oscar vote begins to wrap.
