TaikaWaititi92nd

Taika Waititi, winner 2019.

The Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay is one of the Academy Awards, the most prominent film awards in the United States. It is awarded each year to the writer of a screenplay adapted from another source (usually a novel, play, short story, or TV show but sometimes another film). All sequels are automatically considered adaptations by this standard (since the sequel must be based on the original story).

History[]

The first person to win twice in this category is Joseph L. Mankiewicz, who won the award in two consecutive years, 1950 and 1951. Frances Marion was the first woman to win in this category, in 1930. Pierre Collings and Sheridan Gibney were the first to win for adapting their own work, for The Life of Emile Zola. Philip G. Epstein and Julius J. Epstein were the first siblings to win in this category, for Casablanca. Emma Thompson is the only winner who has also won for acting. Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh are the only married couple to win in this category, for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

The official name of the award has changed several times over the years:

  • 1927/28 — 1934: Adaptation
  • 1928/29 — 1929/30: Writing
  • 1930/31 — 1934: Adaptation
  • 1935 — 1955: Screenplay
  • 1956: Adapted Screenplay
  • 1957 — 2001: Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published
  • 2002 — Present: Adapted Screenplay
