Ignoring the Oscars shows our inability to appreciate quality and merit. And who gives one the right to say that the Oscars are for the west, many of the Indian multiplexes show English movies regularly and the most funniest part is that the so called Bollywood movies are half of the time entirely based on an English Flick. The worst part is that the Indian directors cant even properly remake it. Check Salame-E-Ishq the Director says "vaguely" inspired by "Love Actually"..have you any respect for such hypocrites..at least I dont. Moreover Oscar celebrates absolute merit...just have a look at the major acting nominations this year. Most of the actresses are way above 50 and are there bcause of their merit not because of how less cloths they wore. Look at the category of the best actress in Filmfare, it invariably includes some 25 yr olds who cant act to save their lives.
I have just one phrase for those who ignore the oscars.."SOUR GRAPES"
