Oscar of the best original screenplay
The Oscar of the best original screenplay is a reward allotted by AMPAS, each year, and which precedes a Scénario which is not inspired by works published beforehand. Before 1940, the Academy decreed the Oscar of the best original history . As from 1940, she added the category of the Meilleur original screenplay , and in 1957, the two categories were combined into only one to honor only the best scenario.
