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
