Please note 'Nandi' Awards are not given by Karnataka Govt, but were given by Andhra Pradesh Govt. Okkadu is a telugu movie and Andhra Pradesh, where most of the telugus live, rightly gives the award for telugu movies. Karnataka Govt gives awards only for Kannada movies. Shobha, you must be a typical northie. You Northies always messup with south indian languages. I have seen northies who don't know which south indian language is spoken in which state, even after living in south for years. Pity on them.
