In the absence of knowing the Writers Guild Awards, awards in which some of the candidates for the Oscar, there are already some movies that start as favorites in this category.
It seems that everything will be between «Argon«,« Lincoln »and« Silver Linings Playbook ». The other two nominees "Life of Pi" and "Beasts of the Southern Wild" seem almost ruled out for the statuette.
After winning the USC Scripter And being the big favorite for the best picture Oscar, "Argo" seems to have a better chance than any other film to win the award in this category. Ben Affleck's film has been the most awarded in this section and has the support of the Los Angeles Critics and the Online Film Critics Society who awarded it in their annual awards.
«Lincoln»Is the other great favorite for this award, with almost as many awards as« Argo », Steven Spielberg's film has been awarded by influential critics in San Francisco and New York, in addition to having received this same award by the National Society of Films and by the Broadcast Film Critics Association.
Do not rule out «Silver Linings Playbook»Which recently received the Bafta for best screenplay and was also awarded at the National Board of Review Award and at the Washington Critics Awards.
«Life of Pi»It seems that it has very little chance, and despite being a great adaptation, it has only been awarded in this category at the Satellite Awards.
The same happens with "Beasts of the Southern Wild«, A great adaptation with very little chance of winning the Oscar, so far it has not received any award in this section, and it also has the disadvantage of being the only one of the five nominees who will not compete for the Writers Guild award .
