The 2013 Academy Awards took place on Sunday, and Chris Terrio, who adapted "Argo," took home the award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
"Beasts of the Southern Wild," adapted by Lucy Alibar and Benh Zeitlin, "Life of Pi," adapted by David Magee, "Lincoln," adapted by Tony Kushner, and "Silver Linings Playbook," adapted by David O. Russell, we all up for the Oscar.
The race for Best Adapted Screenplay was a tight one. Originally expected to go to Kushner for "Lincoln," the odds turned when Terrio won the Writers Guild Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Every film in the category was also nominated for Best Picture.
"Lincoln" led the night with 12 nominations, including Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor. "Life of Pi" was close behind with 11 nominations, while "Argo" and "Silver Linings Playbook" were each up for eight awards, and "Beasts of the Southern Wild" competed for three.
The Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay was awarded to "The Descendants" at last year's 84th annual Academy Awards. The film beat out "Hugo," "The Ides of March," "Moneyball," and "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy."
The 85th annual Academy Awards were hosted by Seth MacFarlane. The awards show, which included performances by Adele and Barbra Streisand, was held at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre on Feb. 24.
