London, December 25 : Kate Beckinsale may have to wait a little longer for her Oscar bid after her new movie landed in trouble with the distributors.

The actress, whose `Nothing But The Truth' now faces tough chances of having a wider audience, had impressed US critics with her performance in the 2008 thriller.

Kate, a journalist in the movie who prefers to go behind the bars rather than name her source, is set to have her Oscar hopes squashed since only few voters would get the chance to see the movie.

"We don't know if there will even be any ads promoting the film now," the Daily Express quoted director Rod Lurie as saying.

"Kate's just heard the news and it's very frustrating. This is her best ever performance," he added. (ANI)
