Which Tarantino film won the 2013 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay?
Answer
Django Unchained
Answer
Django Unchained
The Tarantino film that won the 2013 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay was Django Unchained.
Quentin Tarantino won the award at the 85th Academy Awards ceremony on February 24, 2013. Django Unchained was recognized for its original screenplay, which combines a revenge narrative with a revisionist Western setting and an exploration of slavery in the antebellum American South.
The win made Tarantino a two-time Oscar winner in the screenplay category. He had previously won Best Original Screenplay for Pulp Fiction at the 1995 ceremony. Django Unchained also earned awards for Christoph Waltz’s supporting performance and received nominations in several other categories.
The date can cause confusion: Django Unchained was released in 2012, but its awards ceremony took place in 2013. The Hateful Eight was not released until 2015, while Jackie Brown was not an Oscar-winning screenplay, and Inglourious Basterds received a screenplay nomination but did not win.
