For Your Consideration: 2021 Awards Season Best Screenplay Hopefuls

screenplay

With awards season starting, it can only mean that it is time for the studios to start putting out online copies of the screenplays they hope will be getting award nomination consideration. That also means any folks who like to read screenplays get a bonanza of titles to pick from as the season progresses.

Given that the awards season is being stretched out all the way to the end of April thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, studios may be releasing their nomination-hopeful screenplays across a broader timeline than normal. Usually at this point in the awards season we see more than just the baker’s dozen that are currently publicly posted. Not to worry, though, as we will continue to update the list when more become available.

All the scripts are in .pdf format and will probably only be available through the awards season, so click and save if you’re interested in having a copy to read later on down the road.
