The Winners

It's the Oscar night. It's all seems a great event ... but making a film about the Holocaust seems to be a pretty good way to get an Academy Award these days. If Kate Winslet, who have acted in many great movies before and never received an Oscar were to win tonight, then that is no longer an urban myth.

Quote "There's no question that a lot of Holocaust films have won Oscars, but is that because there are they are better films ... or something else? There is certainly plenty of circumstantial evidence. Only last year The Counterfeiters won the best foreign language film award. Previously, in 1994 Schindler's List won seven Oscars. Adrien Brody won the best actor award for The Pianist in 2002 and Roberto Benigni for Life Is Beautiful in 1998. This year's awards season saw an unusually crowded field of movies dubbed "Holocaust films": The Reader; The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas; Good; Valkyrie; Adam Resurrected; and Defiance" unquote.

Even after more than 60 years, the Holocaust is still being reminded to everyone through events and films. Those who don't want to believe or argue against it could go to jail in some European countries. Yet those who express their opinions through drawing cartoons mocking our prophet or far right politican mocking Islam are said to be expressing their freedom of speech. Indeed we are living in a tired and sad world. I hope Slumdog Millionaire will get the best picture tonight!
