Speaking of the Best Picture winner helmed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, its SXSW premiere last year cemented the Texas film festival as an alternative destination for launching awards fare early in the year. The films were acquired by A24, Focus Features, Sony Pictures Classics, and Netflix, respectively, which all earned Screenplay Oscar nominations this year, with A24 in particular winning this category for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

Rockwell winning the Grand Jury Prize for her affecting feature debut “A Thousand and One,” Maryam Keshavarz’s dramedy “The Persian Version” winning both the Audience Award and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, and Chloe Domont’s provocative thriller “Fair Play” being the first big acquisition out of Sundance 2023. And it serves as an example of how well the festival did spotlighting female writer-directors this year, with A.V. Looking at what played at Sundance, which often sets the tone for what to expect of the year’s arthouse releases, Celine Song’s “Past Lives” was an instant hit that has only been strengthened by a successful platform release going into the summer. Half of the Best Original Screenplay winners from the past decade premiered at a festival that occurs during the first six months of the year, so film-goers are probably more informed than they think when faced with predicting which of this year’s scripts could win the Oscar.
