2020 USC Scripter Award nominations announced
In an awards season that's seen regular timelines thrown way askew, one group has stuck to their guns and delivered the oddest sensation for any seasoned awards watcher. The USC Scripter Award nominations normally arrive relatively late among the panoply of media and industry awards, among the signals that the race is beginning to wind up. But not this year! Many weeks before the Academy announces its nominees, the USC has announced its own contenders for the best screen adaptation of the year, though will now postpone its awards announcement until the 13th of March. All the film award nominees below:
