i think the oscars suck when it comes to indian films- they showed a montage of the worlds greatest foreign films right before they announced the oscar for best foriegn film and just about every country but india was on there. :evil:

BTW water didnt win- germany won- i was expecting spain to win with pan's labyrinth even though i wanted canada to win.

The montage only featured Oscar winners. India has never won in this category.

EDIT: I'm so wrong on that first one, apologies. I should research before making statements.

I thought so too, not nominated.

Imho, it was honor to see Deepa there and Water on the screen!!May the best man wins!!!

if pan labryinth did not win, that does not make it bad film though

Maybe they requested footage and it arrived from the Indian distributors on a worn out VHS tape. :lol:

thats kool!! but i think they were showing only winners!! not loosers :lol:

btw isnt this ironical that oscar always pick a song sequence for hindi film, e.g lagaan and water rather showing some intense drama/acting based sequence :roll:
