'Whiplash' May Lose Oscar **mination for Best Original Screenplay Due to a Technicali

[ahlam1399]

"Whiplash" is one of 2014's best ******, and it is predicted to take home a few awards at the Oscars. J.K. Simmons gave the performance of his career in the jazz drumming drama and Miles Teller solidified himself as a true Hollywood heavyweight ? and a damn fine percussionist. Unfortunately, the movie, directed by Damien Chazelle, may be excluded from the Best Writing category due to a technicality.As "Deadline" **tes, "Whiplash" has **t been included in the Best Original Screenplay category on initial voting lists. This is due to the fact that in order to get the movie financed, producers shot a brief scene from the script in order to entice funding. That short went on to win an award at the 2012 Sundance competition. The Academy deems it an adaptation of that short, and therefore ineligible to be included in the originals category.It is an unfortunate spot to be in, especially considering the fact that some voters think it could take home the statue for the category.
