One of the few benefits of the frenzied awards race is Hollywood’s outpouring of materials associated with the contenders. Perhaps the biggest perk is the release of full scripts one is able to download legally, directly from the studios.
We’ll be updating this post as these and more arrive over the coming months, so bookmark the page, but one can check out everything thus far below (right click and save to download, or open in your browser by clicking the titles). To catch up on the last few years, check out the 2018 screenplays, 2017 screenplays, the 2016 screenplays, 2015 screenplays, 2014 screenplays, and the 2013 screenplays, if they are still available.
