At the 86th Academy Awards ceremony on March 2, 2014, John Ridley won the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for "12 Years a Slave," the film that was named Best Picture of 2013. The drama was based on the 1853 autobiography of Simon Northup, a free Northern black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the South. Ridley became the second African-American writer to win the award in that category. In 2010, Geoffrey Fletcher became the first African-American nominee to win a screenwriting Oscar. He won the Best Adapted Screenplay award for "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire."
