If you don't read Variety or The Hollywood Reporter, you might not see these ads.
Just before award season every year, the studios take out full-page ads in the trade magazines marked "For Your Consideration" - and then points out the film that they think has a chance of winning an Oscar, or an Emmy.
It's to refresh voters memories, or perhaps encourage them to watch a film that they haven't yet seen. They also arrange free screenings for Academy members to help this.
Yeah yeah, I hear you cry, all well and good. So what?
Well, this year Universal are making the screenplays of six films available to download.
So if you're a writer who wants to read the six screenplays that Universal think are good enough to win an Oscar, check these out.
