Weekend Read, for your consideration

January 11, 2015 Awards, Weekend Read

weekend read icon[Weekend Read](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weekend-read/id502725173?mt=8), our app for reading screenplays on the iPhone, now features scripts from 21 of this year’s award contenders.

* A Most Violent Year
* Belle
* Big Eyes
* Birdman
* Boxtrolls
* Boyhood
* Calvary
* Dear White People
* The Fault in Our Stars
* Foxcatcher
* The Gambler
* Get On Up
* The Grand Budapest Hotel
* Into the Woods
* Kill the Messenger
* Locke
* Love Is Strange
* St. Vincent (de Van Nuys)
* Still Alice
* Unbroken
* Whiplash

Weekend Read doesn’t host any of these files; we’re always linking to the official PDFs hosted on studio websites. In most cases, those scripts work great, but there are exceptions.

This year, the troublesome scripts are Gone Girl, The Imitation Game and Theory of Everything. Weekend Read 1.0.8 — in review now at Apple — handles these screenplays fine. It should be out later this week.

[Weekend Read is free](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weekend-read/id502725173?mt=8), with a paid upgrade option to increase your library storage.
