The Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay is one of the Academy Awards, the most prominent film awards in the United States. It is awarded each year to the writer of a screenplay adapted from another source (usually a novel, play, short story, or TV show but sometimes another film). All sequels are automatically considered adaptations by this standard (since the sequel must be based on the original story). See also the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, a similar award for screenplays that are not adaptations. == Superlatives == The first person to win twice in this category is Joseph L. Mankiewicz, who won the award in two consecutive years, 1950 and 1951. Others to win twice in this category include: George Seaton, Robert Bolt (who also won in consecutive years), Francis Ford Coppola, Mario Puzo, Alvin Sargent, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Alexander Payne and Michael Wilson. Payne won both awards as part of a writing duo, with Jim Taylor, and writing trio, with Jim Rash and Nat Faxon. Michael Wilson was blacklisted at the time of his second Oscar, so the award was given to a front (novelist Pierre Boulle). However, the Academy officially recognized him as the winner several years later. Frances Marion was the first woman to win in this category, in 1930. Pierre Collings and Sheridan Gibney were the first to win for adapting their own work, for ''The Life of Emile Zola''. Philip G. Epstein and Julius J. Epstein are the first siblings to win in this category, for ''Casablanca''. James Goldman and William Goldman are the first to win for separate films. Joel Coen and Ethan Coen are the third winning siblings, for ''No Country for Old Men''. Mario Puzo is the one of two writers whose work has been adapted and resulted in two wins. Puzo's novel ''The Godfather'' resulted in wins in 1972 and 1974. The other is E. M. Forster, whose novels ''A Room with a View'' and ''Howards End'' resulted in wins for Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. Larry McMurtry is the only person who has won (for ''Brokeback Mountain'') for adapting someone else's work and whose work has been adapted by someone else resulting in a win, ''Terms of Endearment''. Emma Thompson is the only winner who has also won for acting. Winners Billy Bob Thornton and John Huston have only received nominations (not wins) in the acting categories. Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh are the only married couple to win, for ''The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King''. Geoffrey S. Fletcher (for ''Precious'') and John Ridley (for ''12 Years a Slave'') are the only African-Americans to win in this category; Fletcher is also the first African-American to win in any writing category. Francis Ford Coppola, William Goldman, Bo Goldman and the Coen brothers have won Oscars for both original and adapted screenplays. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
