Legendary filmmaker Paul Schrader (“First Reformed”) has just pulled an upset at the Gotham Awards by winning Best Screenplay over Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara (“The Favourite”), who are the current front-runners to win Best Original Screenplay at the 2019 Oscars. Since the category was established at the Gothams in 2015, previous winners have included Tom McCarthy and Josh Singer (“Spotlight”), Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney (“Moonlight”) and Jordan Peele (“Get Out”), who all managed to repeat their victories at the Oscars. This suggests history could bode well for Schrader’s Oscar chances.
