How Fair of unfair do you think are this years awards..? Heres what I found on this website http://www.khabrein.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20470&Itemid=70&limit=1&limitstart=1 Assuming these are true. Here's what I feel.

In the flashback narrated by an ailing old woman and her daughter in a hospital, reminds you of Titanic's rose telling her grand-daughter her love story. In the way in which the lead pair (Pitt and Blanchett) meet and depart, there is a 'carrot and peas' feel of Forrest Gump. And, one particular sequence to narrate Kate's accident is almost on the lines of the French Oscar favorite of that year, Amilie. Having said that, the film does have a soul of its own, thanks to its endearing...
