The Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay is the Academy Award (also known as an Oscar) for the best screenplay not based upon previously published material. It was created in 1940 as a separate writing award from the Academy Award for Best Story. Beginning with the Oscars for 1957, the two categories were combined to honor only the ...

It likely comes as little surprise that Paul Haggis’ surprise Best Picture winner takes last place on this list, as it tends to whenever discussions of the least-worthy Oscar winners in recent memory come up. “Brokeback Mountain” was considered the favorite, with its surprise loss being interpreted by many as a sign that Hollywood was more willing ...
Tradition reigns in David Seidler’s 2011 winner, which cleverly treats King George (Colin Firth) and his stuttering affliction as the stuff of great drama — and, for George, it very much was — without falling into parody or melodrama. A two-hander that requires a pair of great actors to make every line tick by (even the ones that are understandably...
“Downton Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes wrote this Robert Altman hit, and while the stacked ensemble cast (Helen Mirren, Maggie Smith, Kristin Scott Thomas, Ryan Phillippe, etc.) was flashy enough to get the bulk of the attention, this dense, unpredictable script was the perfect way to move Fellowes’ career into the A-list. Tightly written with a c...
It’s possible that no one cared less about “Midnight in Paris” winning Best Original Screenplay than Woody Allen himself, who’d taken home the award twice before and never attends the ceremony, but it was a prize worth celebrating. The prolific writer-director’s most financially successful film, “Midnight” was also a comeback of sorts after a years...
It’s not every year a movie comes along that is so original, packing a double wallop of humor and heart, that it makes stars out of everyone involved. Such was the case with the joyous “Little Miss Sunshine,” which introduced Abigail Breslin and Paul Dano, announced Steve Carell as a serious actor, earned Alan Arkin his first Oscar, and launched th...
Diablo Cody’s dialogue in “Juno” is so crack-of-the-whip sharp and delightfully idiosyncratic that it’s one of the rare indie films that had mainstream audiences quoting it for months. Cody crafted an indelible heroine in Ellen Page’s eponymous youngster, a motormouthed teenager who hides hear fears and anxieties under an exterior of alternative sa...
“Birdman” is well regarded for its cinematography, but its screenplay is also something of a stunner in its ability to weave together an identity-crisis character study with a satirical takedown of the artistic ego. No wonder it took four people to crack the screenplay; director Alejandro G. Iñárritu shares script credit with Nicolás Giacobone, Ale...
The “d” may be silent, but nothing else in Quentin Tarantino revenge drama is. One of the oft-controversial auteur’s most controversial outings, “Django Unchained” is, by several metrics, also his most successful: It made a killing at the box office to the tune of $425 million worldwide, received critical acclaim, and won QT his second Academy Awar...
Tom McCarthy and Josh Singer’s “Spotlight” screenplay is a testament to hardworking journalism that refuses to glorify its heroes or turn their search for the truth into a exploitative or manipulative emotional journey. The film recounts the efforts made by investigative journalists at The Boston Globe to uncover systemic child sex abuse in the Bos...
Cameron Crowe has built a career on putting his enviably fascinating life on screen, but none of his movies have been more personal than 2000’s “Almost Famous.” Fictionalizing his origins as a music reporter for Rolling Stone, Crowe brings an experienced eye to the story of his youth, without losing sight of the alchemical properties of teen idoliz...
