· Best Adaptated Screenplay·

 

The Academy's nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay are:

CHOCOLAT
CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON
O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?
TRAFFIC
WONDER BOYS

Many good books were adapted this year, and adapted well. And once again, the Oscar nominations were off, way off. Sofia Coppola actually improved Jeffrey Eugenides' Virgin Suicides. Nick Hornby's slacker-boy-grows-up-makes-tapes-and-learns-about-love novel High Fidelity bored me, but the film was candy.

The nominees for best adapted screenplay, as they should be:

Virgin Suicides
Wonder Boys
High Fidelity
Jesus' Son
Before Night Falls
