Oscar Predictions: Best Original Screenplay

By Cameron Cubbison · January 28, 2015

Both screenplay categories this year will be interesting to watch, as there is some serious diversity in both the original and adapted categories. Below are the nominations followed by our predictions.

It will be tight between Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel, but we think The Academy will follow in the Golden Globes’ footsteps by picking the winged screenplay.

Nominees

Birdman, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Nicolás Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris, Jr. & Armando Bo

Boyhood, Richard Linklater

Foxcatcher, E. Max Frye and Dan Futterman

The Grand Budapest Hotel, Wes Anderson; Story by Wes Anderson & Hugo Guinness

Nightcrawler, Dan Gilroy

Predictions

Winner: Birdman

The Potential Dark Horse: The Grand Budapest Hotel

What We Want to Win: Boyhood or Nightcrawler
