AFT Awards: Best Adapted Screenplay

This is the sixth category of the 3rd Annual AFT Film Awards to be announced. The AFT Awards are my own personal choices for the best in film of each year and the best in television of each season. The AFT Film Awards include the traditional Oscar categories and a number of additional specific honors. Nominees are pictured in the order I’ve ranked them and drawn from a pool of approximately 92 films. Click here to see previous years of this category.

Honorable mentions (in alphabetical order):
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Julie & Julia, Star Trek, Taking Woodstock, Whip It

Runners-up:
INVICTUS
FANTASTIC MR. FOX
9
THE LAST STATION
JULIA


The winner:
In the Loop (Jesse Armstrong, Simon Blackwell, Armando Iannucci & Tony Roche) was quick, witty, funny, and altogether preposterous as the most entertaining current political commentary of the year.

Other nominees:
Up in the Air (Jason Reitman & Sheldon Turner)
That Evening Sun (Scott Teems)
An Education (Nick Hornby)
A Single Man (Tom Ford)
