Apr 3, 2021 · One of the most prestigious honors a screenwriter can be given is the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Over the years, we’ve seen sweeping stories of romanticism like the original Titanic, as well as stories of war like The Hurt Locker, win the award.
The film is a frontrunner for the big prizes, with nominations in all four acting categories, Best Picture, Director and the rest. The screenplay award could be part of a sweep.
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 .
- The Piano. Female-driven films don’t typically fare very well at the Academy Awards, especially when they’re written and directed by women. However, Jane Campion’s beautifully constructed “The Piano,” about a mute piano player desperately trying to procure her instrument back from her forceful husband’s best friend, was fortunately one of the exceptions.
- The Sting. The second of only two films to team up Paul Newman and Robert Redford, “The Sting” takes the art of conning to a whole new level. Taking place in Illinois during the Great Depression, George Roy Hill’s Oscar-winning comedy follows its two protagonists as they try to avenge the death of their friend by conning the mob boss responsible.
- The Producers. Mel Brooks’ comedic brilliance has rarely gotten him his due at the Oscars, but they wisely awarded him an Oscar for what is arguably his greatest film.
- Patton. “Patton” is certainly not a run-of-the-mill biopic. In addition to George C. Scott’s unforgettable (and Oscar-winning) lead performance, the film also benefits greatly from Francis Ford Coppola’s captivating script, in which the depiction of controversial General George S. Patton’s life during the Second World War manages to thrive where too many other biopics have faltered.
- Almost Famous. Cameron Crowe’s most affectionate and endearing of his rosy-cheeked repertoire stands just above Jerry Maguire as his strongest accomplishment to date.
- Gosford Park. The actor, novelist and writer-director Julian Fellowes made a noble directorial debut with Gosford Park, which is based solely on an idea pitched by Bob Balaban, one in an enormous cast of mostly well-known British talents.
- Milk. Leveed by incredible work by Sean Penn and James Franco, the review of recent history laid out in Milk is not only inspiring but also essential as we come to understand the current state of civil rights in our country.
- Spotlight. No doubt a triumph of form, execution and purpose, Spotlight still does not earn points for being exceptionally well written. However the film remains about as tactful as the journalists it commends.
