The Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay is the Academy Award for the best script not based upon previously published material. It was created for 1940 as a separate writing award from the Academy Award for Best Story. Beginning with the Oscars for 1957 the two categories were combined to honor only the screenplay. In 2002 the name of the award was changed from Writing (Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen) to Writing (Original Screenplay).
