Oscars 2022: Final Predictions For Nominations In Every Category
8. Best Original Screenplay
NOMINEES:
Being the Ricardos
Belfast
Don't Look Up
King Richard
Licorice Pizza
With triple-stamped support from the Writers Guild of America, Critics' Choice, and Golden Globes, there's basically no chance that Being the Ricardos, Don't Look Up, and Licorice Pizza miss out here.
Belfast should also make the cut as it was ineligible for a WGA nod but was nominated for Critics' Choice and won the Golden Globe.
That leaves one slot, and given that King Richard was recognised by both WGA and Critics' Choice, that'll probably take it.
It could certainly get beaten out by Wes Anderson for The French Dispatch, though, considering that Anderson's been nominated in the category thrice before.
