We’ll talk about this in a minute, as both fall under the category of auteur films. Irrespective of any Academy Award nominations, Django is about Tarantino, and PYM is about Emerald Fennell - not the script. More recently, some people have questioned the quality of the script for Promising Young Woman, insinuating its success is undeserved.

It was obvious that the voting Academy members had not bothered to read the screenplay. While I found the movie exhilarating, the script was a complete disaster. When Django Unchained won Best Original Screenplay, I was dismayed. Yet, I’ve read so many rants about the quality of scripts, that it warrants a clear view on what is out there, and what we can learn from them. One of the most effective ways to learn about screenwriting is – wait for it – reading screenplays.
