Amy Winehouse‘s biopic “Back to Black” left out a viral moment … cutting her dig at Justin Timberlake right before she won her Record of the Year Grammy.
The new movie — released this week — touches on some of the biggest moments of AW’s life including her famous 2008 Grammy performance and win … but, apparently, it leaves out the moment just before her victory.
If you don’t remember … Amy live streamed from a studio in London for the show — and, when Tony Bennett and Natalie Cole read out the names of the RotY competitors Winehouse reacted negatively to JT’s album name.
Check out the clip … when Amy hears “What Goes Around… Comes Around” she scrunched up her nose and speaks into the mic — still on at the time — low-key blasting the title.

Seconds later, Amy won Record of the Year — embracing the team behind her … a moment publications say is still in the movie, so filmmakers made a concerted not to include the lead-up.
Of course, the movie’s all about Amy … and, loads of biopics choose not to include controversial moments from their subject’s history — but, Amy was known for speaking her mind, so some fans think they should’ve kept the viral moment in.

As far as we can tell … Justin’s never spoken out about the dig — or how he feels about Winehouse who died of alcohol poisoning in 2011 at 27 years old.
BTW … critics and audiences are split on “Back to Black” — with early reviews on Rotten Tomatoes from critics bashing the film while audiences have given it an 83% on the aggregator.
