Oscar Censorship

So I was watching the repeat telecast of the Oscar ceremony on Monday. No, I didn't care for Slumdog. I wanted to see the speeches made by Lance and Sean who won for Milk

So, the channel broadcasting it in India, Star Movies, decided to censor parts of the speeches made by both the winners.

The channel is owned by Rupert Murdoch and 20th Century Fox.

This is the same channel who censored Brokeback Mountain to such an extent that it appeared to be a movie about two cowboys who set up camp on a mountain.

Well, as long as we have the internet.

Really. I want to do something about it. But there is nothing I can do that will actually talk some sense into them.

So Dev Patel, the star of Slumdog, finally met Angelina Jolie. Although, there was this awkward moment when she tried to adopt him.

Sorry. I just could not resist.
