The awards have been delayed by an year because one of the jury members Shaymalee banerjee took the matter to court because she disagreed with a few things, primarily awarding Sarika the best actress award for Parzania !!! Hence the delay.
that the entire team of Black failed to mention Miracle Worker. They copied from this movie and stayed mum.
Black by itself was nice and N times better than any general garbage produced by Indian Film industry. But hiding the fact that it was a copy always leads one to believe - chor be dadhi mein tinka.

Hi...What is equally troubling is notions & lack of information !!
"The Miracle worker" is not a fictitious story. It is an adaptation ( First as plays & later as movie) of the life & times of Hellen Keller, a deaf & blind girl( The role played by Rani) and Anne Sullivan, her teacher(essayed by AB). Copies are not permitted in national awards ( or oscars) but adaptations of real life can be done by any number of people.
Surely Richard Attenburrough does not have a copyright on "Gandhi" because he has made a film on him. And surely no Indian needs to mention him or take his permission of he has to make a movie on him. And if it is well made film, he can even expect to get national award for it, without loibbying. :D:D:D

I have read the book, it's called Story of My life. Miracle Worker is largerly derived from the book. However, when you copy the scenes you should reference that. Also, I would recommend you read up on Copyright laws. It will help you refrain from making comments such as the Gandhi analogy you gave.

Hey there...( since there is no name)
You know, giving tasks to people as a way of debating leads the discussion nowhere. ( Like read the book, read copyrights acts, climb everest......if you know the facts lets us know) Because ultimately from your comment I am just unable to take the iscussion any further because it gives no information, just gives tasks....well we will have to let it be then !!!! Oh BTW, it would be nice to have a name as well !!! :D:D
really very sad to hear this.. The national awards jury has let us the down, the serious viewers of indian cinema.. 2wice in a row the award has been given to ridiculous performances.. to saif and amit... the performances of mammotty and lal in kazhcha and thanmatra.. goin down witout awards.. very very sad.... amitabh did not even deserve the 2nd one he got for agnipath.. that time it was thilakans time to loose out..
Shame on bollywood and amitabh for buyin out such awards and sendin the national award stature to trash....

If u think that this performance is not outstanding, forget about award winning, then Black 2 need to be made for blind people like u

Ram...
I wonder where the awards are sold !!! I would like to buy a few myself. I can understand that you appreciate the performances of the one's you mentioned ( And I am sure they did well since they are such able actors), but should you really speak insultingly of others to make your point?
Congrats to Big B.In my humble opinion, Best actor award should have been shared. Mohanlal the close competitor was equally good in the movie "Thanmaathra" where he lived the role of a person with alchemers disease. C

Hey Mohan
I like your method of expressing opinion. You differ with the verdict, which is fine, and you do not feel the need to resort to abuses to express your opinion, wonderful !!!
I wish there were more like you who expressed their difference of opinion in the way you have.
I think AB has come to a stage where he enhances the prestige of an award rather than the other way round.......National awards, otherwise seeped in controversy, have honoured themselves by giving the award to AB.
I personally feel that had it not been for the political environment against him, he should have got the Bharat Ratna by now !!!
