The USC Scripter is an award given for adapted screenplays. However, they are the only group that ALSO give their award to the original source material, be it a book, other screenplay, etc... In that way, this award is unique, but nonetheless always a good indicator to watch when it comes to the adapted screenplay category. An Education, Precious, and Up in the Air where all pretty easy guesses, but the inclusion of District 9 is a huge boost for the film, especially after being nominated at the PGA earlier today as well. It's possible that District 9 could sneak into the Best Picture race after all, where it deserves to be. This year, the USC Scripter nominees are...
