Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards / Best Screenplay
Since 1975 the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards have honored the writer of the best screenplay.
Award winners
Notes: In 2005 there was an ex-aequo result and thus two winners. Since 2004, second-placed scriptwriters have also been announced by the LAFCA jury.
