If The Zone of Interest wasn't such an odd arty film, I would've predicted it. There's lots of complaints about the screenplay for Killers of the Flower Moon. I could see writers overlooking it. Scorsese's Oscar films rarely miss screenplay but they've also never been in as tight a race as this one.dws1982 wrote
I fear this is going to be the third Scorsese film to go 0/10, although I hope not, and I do think that Gladstone has a decent shot. That screenplay snub was the surprise of the morning for me though.
I do think Killers will go 0/10. That's what happens. If he gets 11 nominations, the film wins 5. If he gets 10, he loses them all.
