Yorgos Lanthimos's dystopian drama "The Lobster" was nominated on Tuesday in the Best Original Screenplay category of the 89th Oscars, making it the second time the 43-year-old filmmaker looks forward to bringing home one of the coveted gold statuettes.

"The Lobster" has nabbed Best Screenplay for Greek writers Efthymis Filippou and Yorgos Lanthimos at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association 2016 awards.

Starring Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz, "The Lobster" is also directed by Lanthimos ("Dogtooth," "Alps"), hailed as a leading proponent of the so-called Weird Wave of cinema.
