Another year, another Academy Awards. This Sunday, March 4 marks the 90th(!) Oscars ceremony, sure to have plenty of pomp, pageantry, and now more than ever, politics.

Some will tune in for the glamour, some for the gossip. Some will throw parties, while others may try to win it all and make a quick buck in an office pool.

Oh yeah, and then there are the films too!

And where do those silver screen stories come from? Mostly from adaptations, which earned nominations in 15 of the 24 award categories, including everything from Best Picture to Makeup and Hair.

Here at the library, we want to put the spotlight on those authors who created these great stories and characters. So without further adieu, check out the following list of this year's nominated films that were adapted from books (and some that are even sequels to remakes)!
