Best Adapted Screenplay
Andrew Haigh / All of Us Strangers
Crafting a modern ghost story that’s also a touching family drama and a searing queer romance is a tall order, but leave it to Looking and Weekend creator Andrew Haigh to fulfill it. Adapted from Strangers, Japanese author Taichi Yamada’s 1987 novel, All of Us Strangers is a one-two punch that delivers all the emotions: the heartache, when we see London screenwriter Adam (Andrew Scott) reconnect with the spirits of his deceased Mum and Dad (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell); and the sexiness, when we see Adam slowly fall in love with his handsome younger neighbor Harry (Paul Mescal).
Best International Feature
Anatomy of a Fall
France sadly did not select as its Oscars submission. But this Palme d’Or-winning French courtroom drama, directed by Justine Triet and starring has been judged by us to be a triumph.
