1. Her (Spike Jonze) – 110 points

In a close fight for the top spot, it was Spike Jonze’s strikingly original Her that emerged as the Best Screenplay for 2013. Three other Oscar nominees made the cut but the LAMB members made sure to rectify the widely perceived “snub” for Inside Llewyn Davis. Further down the list Nebraska and Blue Jasmine tied for 7th, Captain Phillips placed 12th, American Hustle was 15th, Dallas Buyers Club finished 16th. Lagging way behind was Philomena, only managing a paltry 4 points.
