The winners — which will be determined by a jury chaired by USC professor and Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences vice president Howard Rodman, as were the nominations — will be announced at the 37th annual USC Libraries Scripter Awards ceremony, a black-tie affair in the Town & Gown ballroom on the campus of USC, on Saturday, Feb. 22.
Here is a full list of the film adaptation finalists:
- James Mangold and Jay Cocks for A Complete Unknown based on the nonfiction book Dylan Goes Electric! Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night That Split the Sixties by Elijah Wald.
