This is not a secret anymore, buddy. Its all over the place since Dec. Few of our fellow countrymen have taken pains to post this in virtually every website which talks about SdM, including imdb and rottentomatoes. Virtually every forum which discussed SdM also had posts on this. Couple this with the systematic bashing of the film and its crew including ARR from a select crowd, we can clearly see a pattern aimed at felling SdM at the Oscars.
Guess this had to be expected, especially when the film is up against The Reader, whose producer is notorious in the past for such sabotage attempts. I have a compilation of such posts and more, which I plan to post somewhere after the Oscars are in SdM's kitty. :-) -Vinod --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, V S Rawat <vsra...@...> wrote: > > Now we're into the serious money.
