I jeszcze porównanie między Scripter Award a Oscarami:

Last year, three of the Oscar nominees for Adapted Screenplay first contended here: double champ "12 Years a Slave" as well as "Captain Phillips" and "Philomena." The Scripter race was rounded out by "The Spectacular Now" and "What Maisie Knew" while the Oscar category added "Before Midnight" and "The Wolf of Wall Street."

In 2012, all five Oscar nominees were cited by the Scripter Award: "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Life of Pi," "Lincoln," "Silver Linings Playbook," and the winner of both prizes, "Argo." They were joined by a sixth Scripter nominee that didn't contend at the Oscars: "The Perks of Being a Wallflower."

In 2011, three of the five Scripter nominees went on to Oscar bids: "Moneyball" and "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" joined double-winner "The Descendants," along with two films left out by the academy: "A Dangerous Method" and "Jane Eyre."

In 2010, "The Social Network" faced three of the other four Scripter nominees -- "127 Hours," "True Grit" and "Winter's Bone" -- at the Oscars. The fifth Scripter contender, "The Ghost Writer," was edged out at the Oscars by "Toy Story 3" which was ineligible for consideration here.

In 2009, "Up in the Air" prevailed with the Scripter jury over three of its competitors at the Oscars -- "District 9," "An Education" and "Precious" -- as well as "Crazy Heart." The fifth Oscar nominee was the adapted script for "In the Loop." However, it was "Precious" that eventually won over academy voters.
