1973 Best Adapted Screenplay

Time now to begin the next screenplay category, in this case, Best Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published for 1973.

And the Nominees are:

• The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty, based on his novel
• The Last Detail by Robert Towne, based on the novel by Darryl Ponicsan
• The Paper Chase by James Bridges, based on the novel by John Jay Osborn, Jr.
• Paper Moon by Alvin Sargent based on the novel Addie Pray by Joe David Brown
• Serpico by Waldo Salt and Norman Wexler, based on the non-fiction book by8 Peter Maas

As you might be able to tell, I've already talked about most of these, and won't go over them again until the category write-up. So next up is Paper Moon, followed by Serpico.
