The 88th Academy Awards is going to commence in less than 12 hours and there are two categories which I am really excited about and have an urge to discuss; The Best Picture and The Best Actor in a Leading Role. Here is my prediction and my thoughts on some of the nominees of two of the most important categories at Oscars:
Lenny Abrahamson’s Room is poignant. Room is evocative. Room is devastatingly beautiful. There is a magic in creating a world in a child’s perspective.

It is tad difficult to pick only 20 best Non-English Films from around 100 + Non English films I have seen in 2015.

It is often Director of Photographer (DoP aka Cinematographer) who plays as crucial role as Writer & Director to give profound depth to the story that visually brings it alive on the screen. 2015 has been quite a wonderful year for films, specially for DoPs (Cinematographer).
Every year, it is not possible to accommodate every deserving performances in the Oscar categories of Acting. A large number of excellent performances by Film Actors and Actresses have been ignored, overlooked, snubbed, or passed over every year, and this year is no difference. Here are the 15 Great Performances of 2015 not nominated at the 88th Academy Awards that are worth mentioning, and treat to watch on the screen.
