Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor The Oscars celebrate excellence in the world of filmmaking, and the people who write the stories and scripts are a huge part of it. Variety exclusively reported “Barbie” would be campaigned for best original screenplay for the upcoming awards season rather than in adapted screenplay as had been presumed. The decision brought about some interesting debate on social media, and even some Academy members contacted me directly with questions and opinions about it.
But it’s not a black-or-white question. The categories in which a movie competes aren’t always as clear as you’d think, as seen through the history of nominees and winners. Let’s start with the existing definitions.
What does it mean to be an original script vs. an adapted one? As most people know, an original work creates an entirely new narrative, while an adapted one transforms pre-existing material into a screenplay. “Barbie” scribes Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach have clearly achieved a high degree of originality with their inventive fable, seemingly giving them a clear shot at original screenplay.
On the other hand, adapting a book, movie or established IP can often be a tribute to the art of transformation. Some of the all-time great winners such as “Schindler’s List” (1993) are recognized for the skill and finesse it required to take an existing work, such as a novel, play, or even another screenplay, and adapt it for the silver screen. Before anyone else weighs in, here are some questions to consider: Is Barbie original or adapted? Read: Variety’s Awards Circuit for the latest Oscars predictions in all categories.

He sounds just like Neil Young!’”“I went, ‘Who’s Neil Young?’” Yorke recalled. “I’d never even heard Neil Young, so I went out and bought ‘After The Gold Rush’ and was like, ‘Wow! It’s OK to sound like that?’ Because he’s slightly higher than me, but there was a softness and a naiveté in the voice which I was always trying to hide.
