TZP not in top 5 for Gloden globe

Just read the top 5 films for foreign language and TZP is not in the list 😭

First and For Most, This is the best thing ever. Everything is done at the best. yay yay yay...

Duh. That's no surprise. It was a good start for Bollywood....but it was still light years away from what Hollywood considers, "award worthy" movie (for the most part).

TZP was no great shakes, and sure it wasn't the most accurate portrayal of dyslexia. But it was alot better than alot of other things that year. Paruthiveeran was awesome, a Tamil film, but it is hard for a non-Hindi film to get picked by the jury. Great film, and our best hope for an Oscar really is hitting a subject that is more indigenous to India whether it is a social or political thing. Vishal Bhardawaj is our best hope in that regard.


I am so happy to see Slumdog Millionaire here. IMHO, it is very deserving and probably one of the best films I have seen in the last two years. Glad my gal pals and I decided to watch this over Twilight. Of the nominations I have only seen six films, and one of them included Pineapple Express in an empty theater with my best friend. What that says about me is pretty pathetic.

P.S. Flaviya, I don't think I know anyone, who drools over Tom Cruise anymore including the over 40 crowd. He has done a good job freaking everybody out on Oprah. XOMG (Xenu Oh My God), have you heard about how Katie Holmes talk about how she found him hot when she was a kid and now she is married and has children with him? Awkward! And then I watching The Hills aftershow cause I was really really bored, and I saw him giving Spencer advice on not forcing marraige onto Heidi, waiting until she was ready to get married. Ironic, no, considering that is exactly what he did as Katie's parents were against him too.

well that might have been cuz it was so cliched...i mean you could tell that everything was going to be okay blah blah
and the part where aamir teaches him was so rushed
it was touching but def not one of the greatest works of cinema

TZP was a good film, but not great. If it focused more on the disorder then there would actually be a chance of the movie being nominated. But Bollywood has a long way to go before it reaches the standards of Hollywood. Romantic dramas and comedies can't be nominated as great films just because they have box office success. Awards should go to films with great acting, great story, great direction, and overall great and unique concept!

I say for the most part, because I'd like to know which pot smoking jury member's decision it was toput Tom Cruise's name (for tropic thunder)in the best suporting actor nominations.🤢

Most overrated actor in the history of mankind. The only reason he exists is because women from the 80s still drool over him.🤢

LOL tropic thunder was great. Downey Jr. is good. but Tom Cruise as best supporting actor for TT is bad. It was so hard to notice him in the film. Pineapple express, I'm glad James F. is nominated. He is FUNNY in the film but Oscars are still joke! lmao

I liked the first half only! The 2nd half just went too BW. I am not surprised it didn't get picked. It really was not of that category.
