'Mank' has been written by Jack Fincher's father, who after a long career as a magazine writer jotted down the screenplay at the urging of and in consultation with his son. He passed away in 2003.

The Academy's actors branch, directors branch and writers branch might push 'Mank' to take a step closure to the award but it is likely to resonate with voters across the board.

'Mank' is a biopic of screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz who is known for collaborating with Orson Welles on 'Citizen Kane'. (ANI)
