Since the other two big contenders are also from Netflix (Da 5 Bloods and I’m Thinking of Ending Things), I think it’s more the case that they’ve focused their “for your consideration” campaign on Mank and Trial. So they could get the most nominations and a better chance of winning.

One of the Soul writer, Kemp Powers got in for Adapted Screenplay for One Night in Miami for me in script Soul is gergeous too about meaning of life and of course we should live every minute of it on earth.

Watch the first episode you won’t regret it, it is one of the most well written shows I have ever watched with insanely good music. To describe the tip of the iceberg, it’s about a depressed bell hop fired for witnessing the aftermath of a billionaires murder and returns home to find a strange man named Dirk Gently breaking into his apartment to then get pulled into the insane world of this slightly psychic Detective who is a really bad Detective trying to pull together the seemingly completely unrelated events into a mind bending story that somehow all wraps together by the end because “Everything is Connected” (Also one of the main characters is a Corgi)

Should you watch it, though? It's pretty gutting (see: Hopkins' performance) and if you've worked with the elderly or have an elderly relative, it'll hit painfully close to home - which i guess is a testament to the quality of the art, but also?
