Wow Moonlight wins Original Screenplay this definitely puts that category more up in the air for the Oscars!!! For BoJack Horseman fans out there it won Animation WGA.  |

Deserved as fuck. I just re-watched it tonight, and it definitely holds up as my favorite screenplay of the year.

Settles that. Enjoy your Oscar, Barry Jenkins.

I was starting to question Moonlight's Oscar chances a little bit (Jason Reitman forever has me paranoid for the frontrunners here), thinking Arrival or Hidden Figures could have taken him out, but this puts him in a really good place. |

Hmm. Guess I'll just stick with Manchester for original for now.

So what does this tell us for Original? La La Land or Manchester for frontrunner?

Manchester still slight frontrunner for Original.

Manchester still slight ahead. Moonlight winning shows that while Manchester is far from a lock, they are probably not going to pull a Rotk at the Oscars and have La La Land win everything.

Manchester by the Sea is the only thing I'd be happier to see win, so I like what this means for Moonlight's chances and hate what it means for Manchester's. But at least it wasn't La La Land.

My top two of the year, and my top two in adapted. Wonderful choices.

Kenny Lonergan is beloved by writers. He should have won here. Makes me think La La Land takes Original. Also, this is, by extension, good for Ali.

Why was Moonlight original here? I thought it was adapted?
