@scriptinmotion: The screenplay for Little Miss Sunshine was written by Michael Arndt, who conceived the story as a critique of America's obsession with success, following a dysfunctional family traveling from New Mexico to California to take their daughter to a children's beauty pageant. Arndt wrote the first draft in just three days, in May 2000, but spent the following year making approximately one hundred revisions to refine the script. After facing financial difficulties and studio changes that nearly shelved the project, the production was eventually led by directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, who began filming in June 2005. Arndt's work earned him the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2007. The film also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for Alan Arkin, as well as two BAFTA Awards, for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor.
