ames Ivory has won the Oscar for best adapted screenplay at the 90th Academy awards for his work on the film Call Me By Your Name, adapted from Andre Aciman’s novel of the same name. The win makes the 89-year-old Ivory the oldest ever winner of an Academy award; it is his first win after three previous nominations in the best director category for the films A Room with a View, Howard’s End, and The Remains of the Day.
Wearing a shirt emblazoned with the face of Call Me By Your Name star Timothée Chalamet, Ivory thanked his deceased Merchant Ivory partners Ismail Merchant and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala as well as André Aciman, author of the book on which his screenplay was based.
Call Me by Your Name tells the story of a life-changing romance between Elio and Oliver that unspools over the course of one sun-soaked summer in Italy. Part gay romance, part coming-of-age tale, the film, directed by Luca Guadagnino, earned accolades across the awards circuit for both its screenplay and the performance of its lead, Timothée Chalamet, a first-time best actor nominee at this year’s Oscars.
