Whoever wins the rights to “A Single Man” picks up Oscar noms for at least Best Actor, Supporting Actress, Adapted Screenplay, Score, Set Design, Costumes, and Make Up. Best Director is not outside the realm of possibilities.
With “A Single Man,” TWC also gets a very strong musical score, a fantastic adapted screenplay. and several tech nominations.
