2025 ACADEMY AWARD SCREENPLAY NOMINEES
The 2025 Academy Award nominated screenplay PDFs are here!
Before Academy Awards voters gather in their conclave to begin the real pain of debating what’s got the substance, whether it be a complete unknown or a few nickel boys, they have to first read the nominated scripts. The brutalist results can feel like you’re trapped in sing sing, but we’ve known since at least September 5 that this decision was going to come down to a collection of talented artisans akin to your Emilia Perez or Anora.
Those last two were tough, but we got there, and now YOU can get there too with all of the 2025 Academy Award-nominated screenplays available to read in the Scriptation app!
From a horrific fantasy on the realities of stardom… in the Vatican, to The Substance; reading these amazing works allows the reader to realize the power of the written word. While the previous experience with these works was through the director’s eye, the cinematographer’s lens, and the actor’s performance (and of course, many, many more crew contributions on-and-off the screen), now you can yourself read the pages of the scripts that went on to make the films of the year.
Ideas from a writer’s deepest dream, starting with a blank page and growing with each sentence showcases the power of the Best Original Screenplays, while translating an existing tome into a feature-ready script that elevates and honors the work lies the trick of the Best Adapted Screenplay. Read one, read two, read them all in Scriptation!
