Write an Oscar-Winning* Screenplay!

• Have you ever wanted to write a script about a mute teenage girl who struggles with love, loneliness and guilt in World War II era Mexico?
• What about your story of a Russian Orthodox impostor, a Catholic villain and a serial killer who work through marriage, sibling rivalry and political power in 1920s Italy?
• Are you still sitting on that script about a closeted abusive husband and a bisexual psychopath dealing with sexual repression in 1970s New York?

If so, you just may have a future Oscar winner* on your hands!

Just in time for the Oscar nominations, Time Magazine posted an "Oscar Winner Generator" that creates loglines based on Best Picture nominees:

The algorithm uses tags from IMDB for Best Picture nominees from 1970 to 2014 to generate loglines. The loglines may not make a lot of sense, but they just may give you the spark you need to write that award-bait script.

Now who says Hollywood is out of original ideas?

In the meantime, I'll be working on my story of small-town piano player in 1950s Kansas caught in a web of lust, betrayal and revenge.

*Oscar win or nomination not guaranteed.
