Slumdog acting

With everyone going on and on about how wonderful 'Slumdog Millionaire' is I have to ask the question....What about the actors?

There has been some real raves for Dev Patels work in the lead category, so should I be seriously considering him, or is a pure Indian actor being nominated far too much to ask of the Academy right now?



Also the wonderful and constantly good Irfan Khan is in this film! How did I not know this? He was brilliant in 'A Mighty Heart' and should have been nominated for 'The Namesake'.



That pesky Academy and their racism.

    I think the only indian actor in Slumdog Millionaire who has considerable chances for being nominated is female. Frieda Pinto for best Supporting Actress... (Rinko Kikuchi, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Natalie Portman-She's israeli-, Jocelyn LaGravesse, Miyoshi Umeki)
