i think CC2C should have been nominated !!!
it was not possible i think coz the oscar competition is too difficult the other nominations are also there with some guuud points than SDM.....
nd if it wins than it will be too much appreciated by the INDIAN people.....but not that kind of movies made in INDIA......

nd r u kiddin bout CC2C to be nominated.......there is no chance for that crap movie.......

ya all the tracks are awesome nd specially i love that JAI Ho wala track....

actully this movie was nominated in 9 catagories but 2 times in music(Song)

its very tough for rahman to win this award coz the score and songs of Wall-E are also awesome......

I am actually wondering why films like Mother India,Slumdog and likes which potray dark side of our country are applauded.

Where as Films like Tarre zameen paar don't even find place in nominations.


Wonder, we hype oscars so much, we are a Independent industry. why we need others to judge it.

some groups in bihar have filed a suit against boyle accusing him of the same..

this is a bit too much..
an rjd worker was recorded as saying that calling slum dwellers a dog is a serious discrimination..and that they will fight against it!!!!
