Oscars 2022: Final Predictions For Nominations In Every Category
7. Best Adapted Screenplay
NOMINEES:
CODA
Dune
The Lost Daughter
The Power of the Dog
West Side Story
As usual, Best Adapted Screenplay is absolutely stacked, even if the most guild-supported of the potentials are listed above.
There are many, many possible spoilers that could steal West Side Story's slot, however, namely Drive My Car, Nightmare Alley, Passing, Tick, Tick... Boom!, and The Tragedy of Macbeth.
These five feel like the safest bets, but it wouldn't be remotely surprising if things looked a little different on nomination morning, with so many of the other fringe candidates having massively passionate industry cheerleaders (especially Drive My Car and Passing).
