Staying on the topic of movies I do not know why the Indian movie makers are very crazy about oscars. Oscars are not really a benchmark for Indian movies, there is only one category called a Foreign film category and all the different countries and languages in the world compete for that one slot.
The sensibilities and sensitivities of Indian movies may not be something that western audience/judges would understand or appreciate and I dont mean to show any disregard towards oscars, they are a barometer for movies produced in Hollywood and they would remain so.
Maybe the film industry itself is divided and the so called judges are partial towards one group or the other and this may well be the reason for having no respect towards most of the Indian awards.
One more thing that really pains is about the name Bollywood, Tollywood and Kollywood - this is just so very stupid, we should try and be competetive rather than being copycats, by calling our differnt language movie industries this way we are degrading ourselves. We have no dearth of talent and some of the greatest movies and actors come from our country, so folks be proud of it :)
This blog doesnt mean i dont watch english movies, I love movies - movies of all the languages i understand!
