Watch a film that won an Academy Award for its screenplay, but do not choose a film that you have already written about in this class. NOTE: Get Out (Jordan Peele, 2017) and Django Unchained (Quentin Tarantino, 2012) cannot be used.   Click here to see a list.

Write 3-5 paragraphs about why you think this film won a screenwriting Oscar. Focus on the screenplay in your remarks, not acting or directorial choices.

Be sure to reference specific vocabulary and concepts from the Course Content to describe what you observed.

HINTS:

· Do not PLAGIARIZE.

· Always write in sentence case.

· Respond to at least two of your classmates.

· Italicize all movie titles and list (director, year of release) at the first mention (and only the first) of any movie title.

· List (Actor/Actress) at the first mention (and only the first) of any character.

· Break long paragraphs and ensure that written work is readable (syntax and clarity matter), fact-checked, and spell-checked.
