Izvorni kod stranice Oscar za najbolji adaptirani scenarij

'''[[Oscari|Oscar]] za najbolji adaptirani scenario''' (''Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay'') je jedna od nagrada [[Američka filmska akademija|Akademije]]. Nagrada se dodeljuje svake godine piscu ili spisateljici filmskog scenarija napisanog na osnovu knjige, predstave, pripovetke ili na osnovu nekog drugog filma. Po ovom standardu, svi nastavci filmova se automatski računaju kao filmovi sa adaptiranim scenariom.
