  • Screenwriters Armando Iannucci, Ian Martin, and David Schneider for “The Death of Stalin,” based on the graphic novel by Fabien Nury and Thierry Robin

  • Screenwriters Debra Granik and Anne Rosellini for “Leave No Trace” based on the novel “My Abandonment” by Peter Rock.

No “BlacKkKlansman.” After failing to win the Critics Choice Award and now missing here, an award every Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar winner has won since 2010, it does not bode well for Spike Lee’s film. Also no “A Star Is Born,” “First Man” or “The Hate U Give.”
