The Oscars that will go up for grabs (Feb. 28, 2012) two days after the 2012 Academy Awards ceremony include the one given to writer Herman Mankiewicz for his "Citizen Kane" screenplay with Orson Welles, Los Angeles auctioneers Nate D Sanders said. Welles' own best screenplay Oscar for the 1941 movie – regarded as one of the best films ever made – fetched $861,542 at a Nate D Sanders auction in December.

Note: Other Oscars up for sale include Gregg Toland's 1939 Academy Award for "Wuthering Heights." The auction house said it expects the 15 Oscar statuettes to fetch about $2 million.
