"Manchester by the Sea" wins Best Original Screenplay

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon present Kenneth Lonergan with the Oscar® for Best Original Screenplay for "Manchester by the Sea" at the 89th Oscars® in 2017.

[@jameyb1984]

beautiful speech love this quote. "The movie is about people trying take care of each other in the face of terrible of adversity, I have been taken care of my whole life by wonderful people who I love, and who have loved me." Great stuff

[@VtRD]

Lonergan is a wordsmith. Few screen writers craft the words the way he does, That is one reason he doesn't make many films. Well deserved Oscar.

[@susfring7012]

So well deserved, the dialogue in that film was so real and hit me like a bus.

[@kilidoniadeacero957]

Hope you got to see director's cut of MARGARET, another astoundingly great movie by Lonergan

[@franklesher4459]

"Manchester by the sea" has to be the most realistic and touching film that made me feel identified. "Hell or High Water" hold me at the edge of the seat with his thrilling concept. I wanted that "La La Land" won this award because of his originaly and entertaining concept, but a deserving award for "MBTS" and for Kenneth Lonergan.

[@AlkoWasAlreadyTaken]

I love La La Land, but it's hardly original.

[@TheLPClub]

I love La La Land, but screenplay. THE SCREENPLAY IT'S DANCING AND MUSIC

[@HAL-vm3wn]

The LP Club um ... no.

[@claudioa.6187]

For me La la land it's the best as a whole, but not in screenplay. I think H or H, Manchester and The Lobster were better in this category.

[@Bjork4s]

@@TheLPClub Dancing and music that atleast have something to do with a plot. You think La La Land doesn't need a screenplay, you think musicals doesn't need a screenplay? The screenplay for the musical scenes are original song that is about the plot anyways. Movie still needs some narrative anyways mainly about building some characters that we need to give some shit about. That's like saying West Side Story has a terrible screenplay because it's all about dancing and music when it also about telling a compelling story in a different way

This is lit, because Matt Damon commissioned that script and was going to direct it, but when he read it he decided that Lonergan should direct it himself.

"I can't beat it."

I love Jimmy and Matt. Please never end the feud 😂😂

I agree. Aside the Oscar Best Picture snafu, Jimmy and Matt's feud is the one makes that show so funny.

Kenneth really has a way of pinching your heart. He made me cry in Manchester. He got me teary eyed in his thank you speech.

[@angelotrinidad6888]

WOW, didn’t even know Lobster was nominated, it’s good that it’s got the recognition, crazy script, original & worth the nomination.

I'd love if someone won this award and said "I dedicate this award to my ghost writer thank you"

[@davyanilhaq2465]

Dammit, Oscars! You missed the best part of this actual clip. (after showing Jimmy Kimmel's experience on Matt Damon's best performance *ever*) "Ladies & gentleman, please welcome Ben Affleck, and guest. " . . . If that wasn't hilarious, I don't know what is. Best bromance ever. #KimmelDamon

Some screenplays win because of their story, some win because of their dialogue, and some win because of both Manchester by the Sea definitely won because of both

[@yg-dn5ms]

So good to see Gerri here ❤

[@enzomendanha8852]

Pretty well deserved, but it’s unacceptable people saying that La La Land shouldn’t have been nominated. The story of the film it’s not what makes the screenplay, it’s how you tell the story. Even though La La Land has a simple story, Damien Chazelle wrote it flawlessly making a cliche loooking very original thanks to the way he wanted to tell the story.

[@supermariofan03]

My 3rd favorite movie of 2016! An incredibly realistic and touching movie!

[@PalaceDude]

Hey, I wonder what's your other two? I'd say my fav top 5 of 2016 are: Manchester By The Sea, The Nice Guys, Arrival, Deadpool, The Accountant.

1. La La Land 2. Kimi No Na Wa (Your Name) 3. Manchester By The Sea

[@supermariofan03]

Champloo Films How did you know those were my other two?

[@harrysvu]

Uhh aha I didn't, those were my favorites of 2016. You got great taste bro! It's a shame Kimi No Na Wa wasn't nominated for Best Animated Film, but I think it's because of the late release in America. Hopefully it'll go for next year.

[@supermariofan03]

I wanted 'The Lobster' to win. It's such a weird but fascinating story. 'La La Land' is also written beautifully.

[@adolfoalbornoz3730]

I agree

[@distinguishedflyer]

A really strong lineup; I'd have preferred Sheridan to win for Hell or High Water, but there was no way anyone other than Lonergan was going to take this. Still a good choice.

[@Kristine_202]

I know they both won this award in 1998, but I still think it's a little weird that these two were the presenters. Ben's brother starred in it and Matt produced it! It was well deserved, but I think it goes without saying that this was probably the one they were personally rooting for. LOL
