Oscars again: the desi connections

Shwaas, the Indian entry for Foreign Language Film failed to get a nomination for Oscars.

However, another desi filmmaker did get nominated - Ashvin Kumar - for his short film 'Little Terrorist' in the Short Film (Live Action) category. Also, 'Born into Brothels', a documentary about children of prostitutes in Kolkata's red light area got nominated in the Documentary Features section. Here is a link to a NPR story on "Kids with Cameras".
