    5. From what I’ve read The Artist, Beginners, The Iron Lady, The Lady, Like Crazy, Margin Call, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Melancholia, Rango, Shame and Take Shelter are all ineligible for Original and Albert Nobbs, Carnage, Drive, Jane Eyre, My Week with Marilyn, Sarah’s Key, The Skin I Live In and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy are all ineligible for Adapted.

      It’s a virtual repeat of last year’s King Speech situation.
