Related: About this forumA treasure trove of current Oscar nominated scripts and more, all legal downloads. Happy reading!
My gift to the DU writing community because if you want to write good screenplays you should read lots of good ones.
Enjoy!

"For movie fans who like to read screenplays, its one of the perks of awards season that most studios hoping to get some Academy Award consideration post online a sampling of what they consider their best screenplays of the year. This year we have 30 scripts that have been offered up by the studios on their various For Your Consideration websites for reading. As usual, these sites dont hang around too long after awards season ends, so if you are interested in reading any of the screenplays, I would recommend saving them to your hard drive while you have the chance."
