For that matter, what is "expected" if one tries to present a script in Hollywood? If it was written in "Celtx format" instead of in "commercial screenwriting software format," would it be laughed out of the room and tossed in the garbage?
Hollyweird doesn't care what script writing software you might use. It's the layout on paper (and I mean paper) that counts.
There is a simple but very specific way to write screenplays. And your screenplay is going to be submitted as hardcopy (not as a computer file).
Do a search for 'screenplay format' and you'll get sites that explain the layout.
