An award given for their choice of the Best Adapted Screenplay of the year. However, this is the only award I'm aware of that awards not only the screenplay, but also the original work that script was adapted from. In that way, the Scripter is quite a different and prestigious award to win. All 5 nominees for the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay are recognized, as well as a tie in the voting letter in a 6th nominee this year. This year's nominees are...
