Which Quentin Tarantino film won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2013?
Answer
Django Unchained
Django Unchained won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2013. Quentin Tarantino received the award for the screenplay of his 2012 film, which combines a revenge story with elements of the American Western and the antebellum South.
The ceremony took place on February 24, 2013, honoring films released during 2012. Tarantino had previously won the same Oscar for Pulp Fiction at the 1995 ceremony, making Django Unchained his second win in the category.
The film follows Django, a formerly enslaved man who becomes a bounty hunter and searches for his wife, Broomhilda. Jamie Foxx plays Django, while Christoph Waltz plays the bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz.
The screenplay award is sometimes confused with the film’s other honors. Django Unchained also won Best Supporting Actor for Waltz, but it did not win Best Picture or Best Director.
