Are we at the point where the screenplay categories should be combined?
I agrees with Wes. My own opinion? Barbie should be considered Original. Should it be considered Original based on Academy precedent? No, for all the reasons Clayton Davis listed. The only reasons I thought Gerwig/Baumbach might get away with it is just due to cronyism. Let's be honest. They want to win. I'm not convinced they won't.
