Pronouncing Indian name without accent re? Have you listened to an Indian person speak lately, every words sound funny with their accent. If Indians were in their shoes, they will butcher each and every name during the ceremony. At least they did not named the wrong country. "The Departed" was a remake of a Hong Kong movie, and they announced it during the Oscar that it was a remix of a "Japanese" movie instead. That my firend, is offensive. Go and check it yourself.
I was watching Golden Globe with Jake, a typical regular patriotic America. When Anil started clapping like a money and jumping up, Jake asked "Who is this guy?". I told him, just a big time Indian star. He said Anil was ugly and acted retarded, that was an honest answer. I laughed my ass off. When asked "What did he do in the movie?", I told him there might be a small role, he was like "Do all the actors in India act like that ?". And my answer was "Yep, most of them".
Just sharing my experience.
