Countdown to Oscar Night: Best Adapted Screenplay

Best Adapted Screenplay:
Arrival
Fences
Hidden Figures
Lion
Moonlight

While researching snubs for this category I noticed that there was a serious lack of solid adaptations that were released in 2016. Most were already nominated. I fully expect Moonlight to run away with this Oscar, but the other nominees should not be ignored. Arrival was able to take the short story Story of Your Life and translate it into a beautiful sci-fi poem and Fences broke all the rules by pretty much just filming a Broadway play.

My Ballot:
Fences
Lion
Arrival
Hidden Figures
Moonlight

My Pick to Win:
Moonlight

Shamefully Snubbed:
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
