i think the oscars suck when it comes to indian films- they showed a montage of the worlds greatest foreign films right before they announced the oscar for best foriegn film and just about every country but india was on there. :evil:

BTW water didnt win- germany won- i was expecting spain to win with pan's labyrinth even though i wanted canada to win.

The montage only featured Oscar winners. India has never won in this category.

EDIT: I'm so wrong on that first one, apologies. I should research before making statements.
