And the Oscar for Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published goes to…

Academy Award nominees were announced yesterday morning. My favorite list of nominees is always the one for Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published.

Why?
Because that is where movies made from books appear.

You may have time to read the source material for these nominees before the Academy Award ceremony:

• “The Descendants” from “The Descendants” by Kaui Hart Hemmings
• “Hugo” from “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” by Brian Selznick
• “The Ides of March” from “Farragut North” by Beau Willimon
• “Moneyball” from “Moneyball: The Art of Winning An Unfair Game” by Michael Lewis
• “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” from “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” by John le Carré
