A surprise win at the Scripters last night
In a surprise, The Lost Daughter won the USC Scripter prize last night for its screenplay and the book by Elena Ferrante. This was expected to go to The Power of the Dog, as it usually portends the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar, so it may be a knock against POTD’s overall strength, but then again maybe not. It was just two years ago that the streak for this award corresponding to the Oscar was broken, as Little Women won it and then Jojo Rabbit took the Oscar, so perhaps this is another case of that.
