Screenplay-Only Oscar Nominees

By: Christo​pher Bentley Owen

Some of the more interesting Academy Award nominees were cited only for Best Original Screenplay or Best Adapted Screenplay. In reverse chronological order of their nomination, here is a complete list of such films. It only goes back to the award year 1958, because prior to that, there were three writing categories, and about half the nominees were screenplay-only.

Green Card (1990, Weir)
Betrayal (1983, Jones)
Brubaker (1980, Rosenberg)
Bloodbrothers (1978, Mulligan)
Lies My Father Told Me (1975, Kadar)
Goodbye, Columbus (1969, Peerce)
Hot Millions (1968, Till)
Khartoum (1966, Dearden, Elisofon)
Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 hours 11 minutes (1965, Annakin)
Operation Petticoat (1959, Edwards)
The Goddess (1958, Cromwell)
