Mumbai slum kids are pitted against Brad Pitt at the Oscar race

It’s Jamal versus Benjamin!

On the best actor front, nominations were on the expected lines. However, Brad Pitt is on for a tight race with veteran Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke, nominated for their respective portrayals of a gay-rights activist in “Milk” and an ageing professional fighter in “The Wrestler”. The best female actor nominations bring nod for Kate Winslet. However, she got it for “ The Reader” and not for “Revolutionary Road” that saw a remarkable performance by her. It again signified the Academy’s age-old fixation with holocaust related dramas. Eyebrows were raised in the past when Adrien Brody (The Pianist) was chosen over Daniel Day Lewis’ splendid acting in “Gangs of New York”.

Actor Heath Ledger was posthumously nominated for his supporting role as the villainous Joker in “The Dark Knight”, which bagged eight nominations. If he wins, he will be the only actor (apart from Peter Finch, honoured posthumously for 1976's hit “Network”) to be conferred with the Oscar posthumously. The winner will be announced on February 22 at the Oscar ceremony at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre.
