  5. 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.

  6. It honors outstanding achievement by screenwriters for an original screenplay (not one adapted from another work, such as a play or novel) from a given year, as determined by the academy’s voting members. At the inaugural Academy Awards ceremony, in 1929, the award recognized the work in films released from August 1, 1927, to August 1, 1928.
