India Dominates OSCAR

India and Indians dominates OSCAR (2008) this year. I am a proud Indian to see A. R. Rahman got two Oscars this year (Music Score for Slumdog Millionaire and Music Song for Jai Ho); Lyric for Music Song by Gulzar; SIX other Oscars by Slumdog Millionaire (Best Picture; Directing - Danny Boyel; Flim Editing - Chris Dickens; Sound Mixing - Ian Tapp, Richard Pryke and Resul Pookutty; Cinematography - Anthony Dod Mantle; Writing for Adapted Screenplay - Simon Beaufoy). More to come when "Smile Pinki" was awarded as Documentary Short flim.

However I don't think any Indian will appreciate this flim. A. R. Rahman had better performance in flims like Roja, Taal, Lagaan and many more. Gulzar is having many memorable creation in flims like Anand, Namak Haram, Dil Se, Ijaazat, Maachis and many more. Still the fact is that those flims can get nomination only in "Foreign Language Flim". So finally seeing them getting OSCAR even for there worst creation is a plesure.

It is something like if ICC or MCC decides to award Mr. Sunil Manohar Gavaskar for scoring 36 runs in 174 balls while India played first ever World Cup match against England.
