Though I have only seen 'Amilie' and 'Lagaan'. But I will chose chose lagaan. As I think its about time Indian cinema got international recognition.

Here is an interesting fact.Three Indian movie have been nominated till now for Oscars. 'Mother India', 'Salaam Bombay' and now 'lagaan' and still India hasn't won a single oscar till this date.

hmmmmmmm! Lagaan at 37% and Amelie at 45%, in polls it should be a tough close race!

This poll doesnt say anything. The final voting for the Oscars will be done by selected few.

Selectors being all American they would prefer the French film that the more commericial Indian film "Lagaan".

Durango did I say that this poll counted? I know how the academy works! I said that the winner in poll is going to be tough!

BEST FOREIGN FILM 

   All bets are risky in this category. Year after year, it’s the most upset-prone contest on Oscar night. If everybody voted, “Amelie” would be the easy winner. But in order to cast a ballot, you have to have seen all five nominees, and only a small percentage of the 5,700 voting members of the Academy turn out for the screenings. Some insiders privy to the foreign film committee’s workings predicted that “Amelie” wouldn’t even get a nomination in this category. They were wrong, but it indicates that there is not unanimous enthusiasm for the whimsical French film. Many have liked the Indian movie “Lagaan,” but can a four-hour film about cricket (with musical numbers) win? Don’t think so. The Norwegian misfit drama “Elling” will have some sentimental support, and the Argentinean entry, “Son of the Bride,” could pull off a surprise win—it looks like the sort of movie that appeals to the older voters who often decide the winner in this race. The smart money is on “Amelie,” for obvious reasons: it got five nominations in all and has the might of Miramax—the best Oscar campaigners in the business—behind it. But I’ll go out on a limb and forecast an upset victory for the Bosnian “No Man’s Land,” a powerful, darkly comic war fable whose timeliness may give it the winning edge.
