These are the first wins for Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney for their screenplay adaptation for Moonlight.
Having never watched or read the McCraney unproduced play "In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue" I was just blown away by to me an original film. Jenkins clearly relates to the story from McCraney and the two together really craft an endlessly beautiful film. Taking the three act structure of the play and transitioning it to the screen can be trickey but each act informs the next creating a stellar stage to screen adaptation.
