Redigerer Oscar for beste originalmanus

{{infoboks pris}}
'''Oscar for beste originalmanus''' (på engelsk '''Academy Award for Writing Original Screenplay''') gis til manusforfatteren av årets beste [[filmmanus]]kript, som er basert på et ikke tidligere publisert materiale. Prisen er blitt utdelt av [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]] ved oscarseremonien siden 1940.

Før 1940 ble det kun utdelt Oscar for beste historie, og fra 1940 til 1956 var det to separate kategorier. Fra 1957 ble ''Oscar for beste historie'' og ''Oscar for beste originalmanus'' slått sammen.<ref>{{Kilde bok|url=https://books.google.no/books?id=VK04sar06BUC&pg=PA13&lpg=PA13&dq=1957+categories+Original+Screenplay&source=bl&ots=F5u7CskTx_&sig=XeYehk0Z-0Vi_UFBdjxG9giGMPc&hl=no&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjN9dmnjOzRAhVICZoKHbbaCEIQ6AEIWTAH#v=onepage&q=1957%20categories%20Original%20Screenplay&f=false|tittel=Authorship in Film Adaptation|etternavn=Boozer|fornavn=Jack|dato=2009-06-03|utgiver=University of Texas Press|isbn=9780292783157|språk=en}}</ref>
