UPDATED: 2/22/22
Since 2005, each December, the Black List releases its annual list, a survey of the most liked unproduced screenplays of that year. The annual lists are aggregated using votes from film executives working in the film industry.
The annual lists have included such Oscar winning films as JUNO, THE KING’S SPEECH and ARGO.
At its heart the annual Black Lists are meant to shine a light on extraordinary screenwriting, some of which may have been overlooked more broadly.
LIst of movies based on actual / true events
This list will be frequently updated as movies move in-and-out of contention.
Update 10/13/17:
(Big update today. I added all of the movies that have come into contention over the summer and removed a few that have dropped out. I will continue to monitor the list monthly until award season ends.)

The 90th Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), honored the best films of 2017, and took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The ceremony was held on March 4, 2018, rather than its usual late-February date to avoid conflicting with the 2018 Winter Olympics.
