Oscar awards

No surprise, it is Aamir khan again to the Oscars. Aamir khan’s Rang De Basanti is India's nomination for the Oscars this time. Directed by Rakesh Mehra and produced by Rakesh Mehra, Deven Khote, Ronnie Screwvala raced past Omkara and Lage Raho Munna Bhai as India's entry to the Oscars. Mohan Lal’s Thanmatra (Malayalam) was also in the race. But Rang De Basanti edged out all the competitors to emerge as a clear winner.
Aamir Khan

Talking about the corruption in today's politics and comparing it with the era of Bhagat Singh, the director and the entire crew did a great job in making the movie a mega success across the nation and also beyond the borders. The screen play of the movie deserves a special mention. Not to mention the work of A.R.Rehman. The maestro had once again made all of us down south proud with his mind blowing music. This film had a lot of crew members from the south including Madhavan, Siddharth, Raju Sundaram, Chitra, Naresh Iyer and A.R.Rehman.

In all, there is no other movie more deserving than Rang De Basanti to represent India this time at the Oscars. Entering Oscars is in itself a battle won but the actual battle is to begin now. We wish the film and its crew all the very best at the Oscars.

Indian flim getting reconigtion on the international stage....What do u guys think of the noimation Rang De Basanti?

Its okay. Its free for all in Oscar these days. I mean, even Halle Berry can win, can she?

Surya, RDB has got rave reviews in the west.......there were standing ovations for this film in film festivals.....so, with a bit of investment, this movie can win the oscars itself......i'm very positive that this movie will have a huge impact on westerners way of thinking abt Indian movies....

To be even more precise, what is there Crouching Tiger that it 'towered' over Hey ! Ram (which didn't even get nominated).

yeah, true .... I donno how that crocuhing tiger and hidden drgaon got it? !

..... I think Amorreos Perros was also nominated that year , but crouching ..

... They prolli felt it necessary to award a Chinese(Asian) movie the Oscar ......

..... I think from India, Hey Ram must have been the best bet in the last decade or so ! .(I mean among the popular ones, haven't seen those offbeat ones .... )....... and it wasn't even sent .... But I feel RDB has a chance this time arnd, that is, if they feel the necessity to award an Indian movie the Oscar ....

CTHD, if I remember right, was a huge hit in the US. It was running for the main oscars as well as the foreign language category.
Ang Lee was nominated for Best Director. It was actually nominated for Best Picture (won by Gladiator), Editing,Costumes, Adapted Screenplay.
They won it for Music Score,Cinematography and Art Direction.

It is not a bad film (considering Gladiator -re. which my opinions are mild- was the film of the year). But defeating Hey ! Ram is

I think they made it up by nominating Lagaan next year :P
