Industry recognition for the locally shot “Silver Linings Playbook” keeps coming after the film received a Grammy nomination on Friday night.
The
song “Silver Lining (Crazy ‘Bout You)” scored a best song written for visual
media nomination for its songwriter Diane Warren. Jessie J performed the song
which was featured on the film’s soundtrack.
“Silver
Lining” is nominated against the Oscar-winning James Bond song “Skyfall,” “Atlas”
from “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” “We Both Know” form the film “Safe
Haven,” “Young and Beautiful” from the most recent screen adaptation of “The
Great Gatsby” and the main theme “You’ve Got Time” of the Netflix original series
“Orange is the New Black.”
The
winner will be announced at the pre-Grammy telecast on January 26.
This is
Warren’s ninth nomination in this category, winning in 1997 for the ballad “Because
You Loved Me.” Her songs have also been nominated for six Academy Awards. “Silver
Lining” was not listed by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences as
one of 75 songs in competition for the best original song Oscar earlier this year.
“Silver Linings Playbook” caused a stir in Delaware County when scenes were shot in Upper Darby, Lansdowne and Ridley Park. It became the homegrown favorite to win Academy Awards in February but won only one, best actress for Jennifer Lawrence, from eight nominations including best picture.
