I'm happy that Todd Phillips was able to lose to Taika Waititi, obviously, but I find the idea that Joker was an "adapted screenplay" dubious. Adapted from what? Seems like an original story about an existing character. Is a sequel by that logic an adaptation?

...and this is apparently the correct answer. Weird. That's a much looser definition of "adaptation" than I would have guessed, though I suppose it makes sense. Different creative constraints than a non-sequel.https://mobile.twitter.com/dfsingleton/status/1227079750281117696 …

I question the label "adapted" but I suppose the alternative is to call it "best unoriginal screenplay" and who would want to win that?

Eh, I think it works. Logan is a Best Adapted nominee in much the same way Joker is.

That had a specific source story, though, however loosely it was adapted.

Yeah but the nomination didn't name Old Man Logan specifically as the source material, it was just "the Wolverine comics" in general
