Patrick Melrose adaptation was stellar! I could understand if someone out there felt perplexed because the change of tone between the episodes (and I think they did it in a great way without considering the books!) but if you know the source material it's very clear the wonderful work they did. They are very complex novels and Nicholls managed not just to be faithful but gave the director open field to not traducing them in just a literal adaptation.

That is outrageous. Not to be nominated is just baffling to me. The adaptation was, as you say stellar. I think it was one of THE best adaptations from page to screen I have ever seen. There wasn't a wrong note anywhere.

The writers have to be members of a writing guild in order to be nominated. Could that be the reason?

David Nicholls is British and works mainly in the UK although I remember it was announced that one of the big Hollywood agencies would represent him before PM release

I looked up the WGA and it says that the writers can belong to several writers’ guilds around the world, including the UK.

Look at the movies nominees!

Now we know what the most popular movies are vying for Oscars this year: The Producers Guild of America’s motion picture and television nominations went mainstream. Winners will be revealed at the 30th Annual Producers Guild Awards, to be held January 19 at the Beverly Hilton.

Many of these films will wind up on the the final list of Oscar nominations to be revealed on January 22; the eventual winners are here as well. That does not mean that “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “A Quiet Place,” or “Crazy Rich Asians” will land Best Picture nominations, but it is a sign of strength and popularity. Oscar voters tend to take degree of difficulty in production into consideration, and may lean into big box office hits this year.

The Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures:

“Black Panther”

Producer: Kevin Feige

“BlacKkKlansman”

Producers: Sean McKittrick, Jason Blum, Raymond Mansfield, Jordan Peele, Spike Lee

“Bohemian Rhapsody”

Producer: Graham King

“Crazy Rich Asians”

Producers: Nina Jacobson & Brad Simpson, John Penotti

“The Favourite”

Producers: Ceci Dempsey, Ed Guiney, Lee Magiday, Yorgos Lanthimos

“Green Book”

Producers: Jim Burke, Charles B. Wessler, Brian Currie, Peter Farrelly, Nick Vallelonga

“A Quiet Place”

Producers: Michael Bay, Andrew Form, Brad Fuller

“Roma”

Producers: Gabriela Rodríguez, Alfonso Cuarón

“A Star Is Born”

Producers: Bill Gerber, Bradley Cooper, Lynette Howell Taylor

“Vice”

Producers: Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Kevin Messick, Adam McKay

Well, yes, it sounds like a populist votes. Although I’m not sure The Romanoff was that popular! Maybe it’s like Ryan Murphy’s Versace series: much more about the popularity of the producer within the voters. It’s by the Mad Men guy.
