Bo Burnham for Eighth Grade
Deborah Davis & Tony McNamara for The Favourite
Tamara Jenkins for Private Life
Hirokazu Koreeda for Shoplifters
Diablo Cody for Tully
AND THE WINNER IS:
DEBORAH DAVIS & TONY MCNAMARA FOR THE FAVOURITE
This is the first win and nomination for both Deborah Davis & Tony McNamara.
"You Look Like a Badger", "Your mascara is running. If you want to fix yourself we can discuss this later", "If you do not go, I will start kicking you and I will not stop" and basically everything that comes out of the mouth of Lady Sarah is instantly iconic. The writing of this film is spectacular. There is so much quotable dialogue in the film and so many wonderfully played scenes that thinking this script comes from basically two first time writers is shocking. Seeing a script so focused on three women and their relationships is still a rare thing especially with three different women and none struggling to show their power. They are all both the best and the worst people with every move they make in the film. Fantastic writing from these guys.
