Although Affleck did impress me in Argo

That was like 10+ years ago. He has come a long way and his recent work has surprised everybody.

and if HW really thinks that Slumdog truly deserves the oscar and IS better than every Indian film ever made then i would rather india never wins oscar... if it is so then QUALITY of indian films must not be the criteria preventing HW from acknowledging indian films as I think Slumdof was at the best an average film and India has made many many better films than slumdog...

Well can't really compare Slumdog to any movie every made in BW. Slumdog was restricted to 2009 only

I don't know Paltrow is decent or she was in the Iron Man movies I never saw Shakesphere in love

I just don't think it makes sense Mcconaughy has a gold statue while Tom Cruise , will smith , robert Downey jr , Leo Dicaprio don't .

Sean Penn has been a consistently phenomenal actor.

Gwyneth is OK. But she didn't deserve the Oscar for Shakespeare In Love. That year the Oscar should have gone to Cate Blanchet for Elizabeth which was incidentally directed by Shekar Kapur.

And I agree, McConaughy having an Oscar while Leo does not doesn't make sense to me either.

Oscars aren't for Bollywood. Bollywood's obsession with the Oscars is a sad case.

Yeah that I agree with, Leonardo, Will Smith are two people who I personally find good actors. Such a shame neither has won one yet :(

I personally enjoyed Mickey Rourke more than I did of Sean Penn that year.

Lunchbox had the potential to win it is a loved film globally the boxoffice collection of it in US and UK is higher than many mainstream bollywood big films. The comittee made a mistake by not choosing it for the oscar entry from india.
