A 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, it’s 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 don’t 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."

All the screenwriting guides in the world will not replace the need for budding screenwriters to read actual scripts to learn things like plotting, pacing and most-importantly format. This is a treasure trove.
