SimplyScripts - Read and Download All Of This Year's Oscar-Nominated Screenplays

2025 Academy Award Nominated Screenplays - The 98th Oscars
Held in 2026.

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 24 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 Bojack and 8flix.com for the heads up on so many award season scripts. Here are the 2025-2026 FYC Screenplays.
