India misses the Oscar race; 'War Horse' and 'Hugo' lead music nominees

MUMBAI: India's only hope at the Oscars this year, 'Dam999' has failed to make a cut in the final nomination list of the 84th Academy Awards.

Three songs from the film �Dakkanaga Dugu Dug', �Dam999 Theme Song' and �Mujhe Chhod Ke', composed by Kerala-based National Award winning composer Ousephachan's had been shortlisted.

Commenting on the result, Roy said in a statement, I consider this as an achievement that my film travelled this far in the Oscars and I am happy with that....
