I firmly believe that the fact that the studios post scripts for screenplay award consideration is a major factor in winning. Paramount has stopped posting screenplays for award consideration which I believe harms their ability to garner the screenwriting award. I’ve had a couple of academy members email me thanking me for the links to the nominated scripts for the convenience of having the script links in one place (small focus group, yes).
