- 87th Oscar Highlights
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 .
Jan 22, 2015 · From birds to boys to everything in between, the Best Original Screenplay nominees for this year’s 87 th Academy Awards are a diverse, intriguing mix. Most of the writers up for the Oscar have competed for the award before, so it’s anyone’s game.
- 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.
