Movie Dropped From Oscar Category For Strange Reason But With Twist

Indo-Canadian filmmaker Deepa Mehta's 'Funny Boy' was removed from Oscar's 'Best International Feature' category for a strange reason. Reportedly, the movie was eliminated for excess usage of English dialogues, as the category allows only movies having non-English dialogues. However, the Academy has informed to reconsider the movie in 'Best Picture' and other categories. Deepa said that though she was astonished by rejection, she was equally surprised with the new categories.
