The Kids All Right took screenplay – I really hope that this issue nudges the NYFCC towards separating their categories into adapted and original but (in my opinion) NO ONE wrote a better screenplay than Aaron Sorkin did this year.
But this is a nice push for Kids, and especially for Bening. This kind of says – not so fast, Ms. Portman. Step aside.
