Borrowing a plot with attribution, or at least acknowledging the source inspiration is one thing, and that’s what you’re describing. Presenting something created with borrowed ideas as entirely your own work, as happened here, is another. Especially when the borrowed elements in total are numerous, specific and novel (ie not clichéd) enough to have left a unique creative fingerprint, and particularly if you’re going to put that derivative work up for a Best Original Screenplay Award.
