Unfortunately I have not seen Before Midnight, Philomena or Wolf of Wall Street yet, so this is one of my weaker categories to vote. But based on what I have seen, and by reputation of what I have not, my vote would be for 12 Years a Slave.

Mostly because I thought TYAS did a very good job of adapting the original memoirs; but also because I did not give it any votes in any of the other categories and it really does deserve some recognition.
