If they hadn't read the book how could they award Best Adapted Screenplay. Surely they'd need an idea of what had been adapted?

I do not remember any critic in the print media or broadcast media pointing out problems with that line as you seem to feel there are. Seems to me you are picking at a very tiny piece of lint that nobody else notices or even cares about. You are making a mountain out of a molehill.
