‘Conclave’, ‘Say Nothing’ Win At The USC Scripter Awards
deadline.comThe writers behind the adapted screenplay of Focus Features’ Conclave and an episode of the FX and Hulu series Say Nothing won Saturday night at the 37th annual USC Scripter Awards.
The winners were revealed tonight during a black-tie ceremony in the Town & Gown ballroom at USC. The awards, bestowed annually by the USC Libraries, honor the writers of the year’s most accomplished film and episodic series adaptations as well as the writers of the works on which they are based.
Conclave, adapted by Peter Straughan, previously won the Golden Globe Screenplay trophy. It was not eligible for WGA nominations this year.
The Scripters, won on the film side last year by eventual Oscar Adapted Screenplay winner Cord Jefferson‘s script for American Fiction based on Percival Everett’s novel, this year featured work that ran the gamut of original IP, with this year’s nominees’ source material spanning a magazine article (Sing Sing), a children’s book (The Wild Robot), a nonfiction book (A Complete Unknown) and a pair of novels (Conclave and Nickel Boys).
