What Academy Award did "Pulp Fiction" win?

Pulp Fiction won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary shared the award for the screenplay of Tarantino’s nonlinear 1994 crime film at the 67th Academy Awards.

The screenplay was recognized for weaving together several intersecting stories involving hitmen, a boxer, a gangster’s wife, and two small-time criminals. Its fractured chronology, sharp dialogue, dark humor, and mixture of pulp fiction, crime-film conventions, and pop-culture references made it unusually distinctive for a major Hollywood release.

Pulp Fiction received seven Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for John Travolta, Best Supporting Actor for Samuel L. Jackson, and Best Supporting Actress for Uma Thurman. It won only the screenplay award, although the film also earned the Palme d’Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. A common mix-up is to call the Oscar simply “Best Screenplay”; the formal modern category is Best Original Screenplay, distinguishing it from Best Adapted Screenplay.
