To thank them for participating, he compiled the list and sent it to the respondents. He emailed about 75 fellow development executives and asked them to name the ten best unproduced screenplays they read that year.

On January 27, 2019, at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, it was announced that the LGBTQ media advocacy group GLAAD had partnered with The Black List to create The GLAAD List, a new curated list of the most promising unmade LGBTQ-inclusive scripts in Hollywood.

The produced films have together grossed over $25 billion, and been nominated for 241 Academy Awards and 205 Golden Globe Awards, winning 48 and 40 respectively.

The Black List is an annual survey of the "most-liked" motion picture screenplays not yet produced. ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)
