Victor,
The oscar jury may award any number of oscars to any movie they wish to. It's their prerogative. Ofcourse who wan did not say he will snatch those oscars, but in this forum we may freely express our views about any film.
Nevertheless I liked the film very much. But Mr. Banerjee is correct in saying that riots in India don't happen just like that. It is not a everyday fact of life as shown in the movie. Even though the facts are somewhat exaggerated and unreal, the movie is very refreshing and there is an air of spontaneity about the young slum kids who played the lead.
