For the past five years in a row, the BAFTA Awards have correctly predicted the Oscar winner for Best Adapted Screenplay, recognizing “Call Me by Your Name,” “BlacKkKlansman,” “Jojo Rabbit,” “The Father” and “Coda.” But that winning streak may have already hit a snag in 2023, as the frontrunner for the Oscar — Sarah Polley’s “Women Talking” — didn’t even earn a nomination on the other side of the Atlantic. In fact, only two of the five Oscar nominees overlap with the BAFTA lineup: “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “Living.” Even though the former is tied as the most nominated film in the British academy’s history with 14 citations, could “Living” and its Nobel laureate screenwriter Kazuo Ishiguro ultimately prevail?
Our collective users certainly think so, although it looks to be a tight race between the two contenders. According to our combined odds, “Living” holds the lead over “All Quiet” by fewer than 200 predictors.
