It’s got its own category now. They were tired of using “Bush’s Fault.”

Hear that applause? They finally heard something they agree with. Unlike that joke in the beginning about the inability of films about Iraq to make money....

Then again, it was acknowledged that diversity included films that are lousy--that last winner must have been from that group.

Was Diliwar the name of the movie which won?

Just shocking they didn’t kick off the entire awards ceremony with that little stink bomb moment. /sarcasm
