AND THE WINNER IS:
SCREENPLAY BY JAMES IVORY; BASED ON CALL ME BY YOUR NAME BY ANDRE ACIMAN, CALL ME BY YOUR NAME
This is the first win and nomination for James Ivory.
The probable Oscar winner, James Ivory's adaptation of Call Me by Your Name was the best screenplay in it's category. The source material was already powerful literature but Ivory by altering the ending of the novel slightly made this film of love and growing up one with an all to realistic ending as things usually never work on. Ivory through collaborating with director Luca Gudagnino crafted this tender story of two women finding each other. There are two moment that I must give particular praise to Ivory, the first being the conversation between Elio and his father that closes the main section of this film. Every word is beautiful delivered through Stuhlberg to create one of those monologue scenes that feels filmic as well as theatrical. The other scene I loved was the epilogue of the film where we see Elio still recovering from Oliver until he hear's his voice again. These two ending scenes together pushed this film further into my heart and all thanks goes to Ivory one of my favourite filmmakers from his work in the 90's now finally getting his due respect with an Oscar this coming week I'm pretty sure.
