From The Guardian

Sci-fi thriller Children of Men yesterday won the University of Southern California’s Scripter prize.

The award recognises book-to-film adaptations, with the honours in this case going to crime writer PD James and screenwriters Alfonso Cuáron, Timothy J Sexton, David Arata, Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby. Cuáron also directed the film.

I really enjoyed Children of Men. Having not read the book, I can’t really comment on whether or not it should have won.

Other nominations were:

  • The Devil Wears Prada
  • The Illusionist
  • The Last King of Scotland
  • Notes on a Scandal
