Ten year old Tatum O'Neal won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her screen debut in Paper Moon (1973) becoming the youngest winner ever in a competitive category. Nine-year-old Darsheel Safary has given an unbelievably stunning performance in Aamir Khan directed Taare Zameen Par (that is busy receiving millions of congratulatory bouquets worldwide). It's year-end and the award nominations will start hogging the limelight very soon. The big question that IndiaFM wishes to pose before the jury and the adjudicators is that….Will Darsheel get the nod in the Best Actor category or will he be relegated to the more expected best child artiste domain? In addition, we shall give you reasons why he deserves all the awards in the best actor category
Earlier in the name of film awards there were only Filmfare Awards and they occupied a special place in the industry. Those who were awarded felt blessed while the ones who missed out hoped that one day they'd deliver their well-practiced speech on the podium of excellence basking in the flashlights of praise. Javed Akhtar has often said in his interviews how as a young boy he happened to clean legendary tragic actress Meena Kumari's Filmfare statuette in a studio and how it fuelled the ambition within him to win one of his own some day. And he managed to win many of those sparkling ladies. Well, you can't get more filmi than that.
Oscars are selected after an arduous procedure and respects merit tremendously (though the allegations of racial discrimination have sometimes been proven right here as well). What is most notable is that, there are no such categories as Best Actor in a Comic Role or Best Actor in a Negative Role in Oscars
But today like it or not, apart from Filmfare there are many more award functions that happen in close proximity, looking a replica of each other as almost the same list of people/ films end up winning everywhere. In fact, the film awards have become very filmi. For, they are meant to be widely televised, opulent, entertaining events more than an acknowledgment of worthy talent. There's nothing wrong in making the big bucks but most certainly there should be more transparency in the nomination and selection process.
