  1. I should note that Heat is actually a remake of a TV movie Michael Mann did in 1989 in L.A. Takedown so it should be disqualified for Best Original Screenplay.

    1. That's a good point and compelling bit of trivia, but here's another way to look at it: L.A. Takedown (1989) was the TV movie that began life as the pilot for an unproduced television series "Heat". One of the criteria for Best Original Screenplay is that it not be based on material that has been published and produced. And while L.A. Takedown was admittedly released (produced/published) on television and was the basis for Mann's Heat, the television show of the same name wasn't produced. So is Mulholland Drive (2001) an adaptation of the failed 1999 TV pilot it started as? Did Moonlight (2016) really deserve the Best Adapted Screenplay when the stageplay on which it was based was never produced? I don't have the answers, but it does show that the line between an original work and an adaptation is a grey one.<

    2. Interesting point, Charlie. Either way, I've moved Heat to Adapted Screenplay. I forgot about the L.A. Takedown connection.
