The USC Scripter nominations have never lined up with the eventual nominees. Well, okay, to be fair in 2012 they nominated six screenplays and the Academy chose five of them. I think Fences is vulnerable because it really seems like they just filmed the play.

Re: USC Scripter Nominees
There you have your five Oscar nominees. I find it very hard to believe this won't be the list. USC is the single best predictor of Adapted Screenplay out there.
