Barry Jenkins - Moonlight |
| |
The likely winner here, it is happy to see Manchester and La La battle it out in the original category. |

Eric Heisserer - Arrival |
| |
The previously mostly unknown scripter is likely to make it in with the movie that many considered to be in "fourth place" following the big three. |

Theodore Melfi, Allison Schroeder - Hidden Figures |
| |
The critical and commercial success darling film will also likely see its director nominated for the script, if not director. |

August Wilson - Fences |
| |
An American treasure of theater, if Fences is going to have a chance it's going to have to show up here |

Tom Ford - Nocturnal Animals |
| |
Though I doubt they'll give him the Directing love that BAFTA and the Globes did, this is a place for the Academy to recognize the popular designer. |

Luke Davies - Lion |
| |
It seems kind of crazy since Lion has a DGA nod to put it sixth here, so caveat emptor. It likely will be nominated and I will be wrong. |
