This is really shocking to read that people actually believed that it was in the race.

What nomination?? The nominations are not announced yet!
by Savio J on Jan 17, 2008 07:25 AM

Rediff - You are either clairvoyants or you know something the rest of the world does not!! When were the Oscar nominations annouced?? As per the website, the announcement would take place on Jan 22nd, a week away. Where did you see this list of foreign film nominations? I am obviously missing something!!

Well wait till u see it, then maybe u will cange ur mind! I really didn't get what the acual point of the film was. I mean was it supposed to be a big deal that Amitabh was Saif's real dad? Cos Saif sure as hell didn't seem that bothered, so why should we care??? Abh tak samaj mein nahin ayaa iss film ka point kya tha....

Wow, Eklavya out of Oscar race??? Now who would have guessed that?! Oh my god I am soooooo surprised and shocked! NOT!!!!!! Duhhhh...it wasn't even IN the race in the first place...not seriously anyway, hardly a serious contender...so this is not exactly earth-shattering news. (Then again maybe it is for Rediff.)

you are right and the difference in sensibilities is that we send movies based on who knows whom better whereas others send based on content.. i wish we could bribe everywhere in the world we would be full of oscars.. but we always have filmfare awards to buy..
