[icernet] Oscars turn into a cosy threesome

[Arul Selvan]

  This year's Oscar awards marked the widely aired event's 75 years. It 
has come to acquire a hallowed status for ambitious Indian filmmakers. 
Very obvious to Indian viewers though was the notable absence of a 
contingent from home, amidst the glittering assembly of American showbiz 
personalities gathered for the big night. The overrated Devdas, our 
official entry in the best foreign film category, failed to make it to 
the nomination stage, an omission which provoked the film's makers into 
questioning the credibility of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and 
Sciences. Indians should ask themselves why they have been hankering to 
gatecrash an essentially White American preserve, catering to entirely 
different sensibilities, for the past several years.
