At the Oscars, 'Anatomy of a Fall,' directed and co-written by Justine Triet and Arthur Harari, won the award for Best Original Screenplay. Triet remarked that the Oscar will help her through her midlife crisis. The film, a sharp courtroom drama, was recognized for its screenplay. Meanwhile, 'American Fiction' secured the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. The film, Cord Jefferson's first produced film script based on the novel 'Erasure' by Percival Everett, tells the story of a Black literary author who unexpectedly becomes wealthy after writing a parody of 'urban fiction.' Jefferson, in his acceptance speech, expressed his joy in making the movie and encouraged Hollywood to give new creatives a chance.
