OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

Alex Garland for Ex Machina

Alex Ross Perry for Queen of Earth

Tom McCarthy & Josh Singer for Spotlight

Paul Feig for Spy

Sean Baker & Chris Bergoch for Tangerine


AND THE WINNER IS:



ALEX GARLAND FOR EX MACHINA


This is the first win and nomination for Alex Garland for his original screenplay to Ex Machina.


Who would have guessed that when it came to rewarding the best original screenplay of 2015 it would never get better then a film I saw all the way back in January 2015. Not to say that this year was weak with original screenplays but just the power of Ex Machina never wavered it from my top spot of the best original screenplay. Alex Garland has always been a great writer which is why I’m not surprised that his take on A.I. sci-fi turned out to be a success. Garland clearly is great with dialogue as most of this film whether with Ava or Nathan involves a lot of dialogue and it’s just so sharply written that you are always wanting to know more and when you do find out what you wanted to know it’s so expertly crafted that it creates such a great screenplay.
