I really liked the movie. It was an excellent feat for the actors involved. I believe it was not nominated because it would have split the Oscar vote between it and Brokeback, and the Academy wants Brokeback to win the Oscar - which it probably will.

Probably look at the ABC Oscar site, and I think there was one on Yahoo Entertainment!.

You will usually find that the best actor oscar goes to a male and the best actress oscar goes to a female. I am not sure why but that is the way it seems to go.

An expert peer panel votes for nominations and all then vote to decide occars.\n\nThat is, acting members of the academy vote for best actor nomination, directors for best director, cinematographers for best cinematography etc.  Then all members of the academy vote between the nominations.\n\nNot sure about best film, but I think there is a smaller panel that decides the nominations then everyone votes.

Ananthabhdram ........ A Super Movie.....\n\nAnanthabhadram is going houseful from day one with upper class and lady audience rooting for it.\n\n\n At Ajantha theatre in Trivandrum, tickets for three days were sold in advance something unheard of, for a film without Mohanlal, Mammootty or Dileep.

The movie was good. It was well-done and directed attention to interesting aspects of discrimination. \n\nThe song performance at the oscar was however not so great.
