USC Scripters Awards nominees for 2024 include 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' 'American Fiction,' 'Origin,' 'Oppenheimer' and 'Poor Things.'
Ava DuVernay’s drama “ Origin ” was a surprise entry in the lineup, making her the second Black woman recognized by the awards body (the first was Dee Rees for 2017’s “Mudbound”). A strong bellwether for the Oscars’ best adapted screenplay category, previous Scripter winners that have matched the Academy in the last decade include “12 Years a Slave” (2013), “The Imitation Game” (2014), “The Big Short” (2015), “Moonlight” (2016), “Call Me by Your Name” (2017), “Nomadland” (2020) and “Women Talking” (2022). Howard Rodman, USC professor and vice president and secretary of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, chaired this year’s committee.
