Set aside some time for a little reading material

Do you have an opinion on what scripts should take home the awards for Best Original and Best Adapted Screenplays at the 2010 Oscars? Well, if not you may want to begin by reading a few yourself as I have once again updated the online script database for this year's contenders as more and more For Your Consideration sites open up their doors.
Today I have added nine new scripts as Focus, Lionsgate, Warner Bros. and Overture have brought their award sites online.
If you are interested, the Focus Features site is incredibly involved and quite fancy. It features not only the scripts for A Serious Man, 9, Coraline and Sin Nombre but also the complete scores/soundtracks in 192kbps .MP3 quality. Carter Burwell's score for A Serious Man is worth the visit alone. Warner Bros. also features the scores for The Informant, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Where the Wild Things Are while Wild Things is currently the only script not yet available.
Below you will get links to the award sites as well as links to each screenplay, with the newest scripts marked as such. Remember to bookmark our The Contenders section and/or subscribe to the Contenders RSS Feed for continuous awards updates.

Thanks for the update Brad! Just so you know, whenever I click on the Focus Features award site link, it keeps sending me to Lionsgate.
Also, its nice to see that Overture is showing some love to Sunshine Cleaning, a movie I absolutely loved. Since it came out way back in March/April, I wasn't expecting to see it get any support. I'm not sure it'll get any noms, but it's the thought that counts.
@Martian Army: Oops, all fixed now.
For best original screenplay, Quentin Tarantino must win for Inglourious Basterds.
That film was brillant. The plot, the dialogue, and the ending, all of these were perfect. He should win for best original screenplay.
"Inglorious Basterds" is the best film of the year so far. I doubt it'll win BP, but I hope it gets nominated at the very least. It should also get other nominations (Screenplay & Director definitely).
Will Extraordinary Measures be in contention for an Oscar this year?
If Harry Potter 6 gets nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, I will consider not watching the Oscars – that movie was the 2nd WORST adaption of the Harry Potter books, and if it gets a nomination in that category when Alfonso Cuaron's or Mike Newell's fantastic adaptions did not, that's just awful.
But I do agree with what everyone's been saying here about Inglorious Basterds – absolutely loved that movie :D In addition to what people have been saying, I think that the only man worthy of taking home the Best Supporting Actor is Christoph Waltz, he was just brilliant ;)
Please, I´m lookingo for thr script of The princess and the frog. As this site is so uptodate and trustfull, perhaps you can help me. It´s for academic purposes.
Thank you vey much
