Each year studios will post the screenplays (usually shooting scripts) of films that they are putting up for award consideration for original or adapted screenplay - Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Bafta, etc., aka FYC scripts. For the past 20 years, SimplyScripts has been tracking those scripts as they are posted by the studios. I encourage you to download those you find interesting for personal/educational use. They usually disappear after award season has concluded. Huge thanks to Barksid and Sean and Kel and McManus and Tanmay and BoJack. for the heads up on so many award season scripts.
