No real movement this month in the races for Best Adapted and Original Screenplay. December is where things will really start to kick off, so my predictions for Adapted remain the same as in October. In the Original category, the buzz has well and truly worn off Blitz, while something like The Substance only grows in strength as the weeks progress. A screenplay nod for Coralie Fargeat is starting to look more likely by the day. Lord knows she deserves it.
