Cada año, la Universidad del Sur de California premia conjuntamente a guionistas y autores del material en que se basan esos guiones. Es lo que los convierte en especiales.

Este año, los nominados en cine para el USC Scripter award son:


  • Cord Jefferson for “American Fiction” based on the novel “Erasure” by Percival Everett
  • Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese for “Killers of the Flower Moon” based on the nonfiction book “Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI” by David Grann
  • Christopher Nolan for “Oppenheimer” based on the nonfiction book “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin
  • Ava DuVernay for “Origin” based on the nonfiction book “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” by Isabel Wilkerson
  • Screenwriter Tony McNamara and novelist Alasdair Gray for “Poor Things”
