Do Oscar-Nominated screenwriters follow the structural formulas prescribed by the 'gurus' and books?
Stu and Chas analyse two screenplays nominated for Academy Awards in 2014 – PHILOMENA and DALLAS BUYERS CLUB – to see whether they follow the structural theories espoused by Blake Snyder, Michael Hauge and Christopher Vogler.
