LOS ANGELES (AP) – Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are in the running to pick up another prize for their “Good Will Hunting” script.

The actors, who wrote and starred in the Academy Award-winning picture, are among the nearly 40 Humanitas Prize finalists announced Thursday. The prize honors scripts that illuminate life and foster respect and compassion.

The winners, who will share $120,000 in prize money, will be honored July 9 at a luncheon given by the Human Family and Educational Cultural Institute.

Along with “Good Will Hunting,” the finalists for a feature film screenplay are James V. Hart and Michael Goldenberg for “Contact” and Richard Friedenberg for “The Education of Little Tree.”
