Nevada
(ANI):
Prestigious
Golden
Globes
asked
to
have
"Best
Bollywood
Film" category
Indo-Americans
have
asked
Hollywood
Foreign
Press
Association
(HFPA)
to
introduce
a
new
award
category
in
golmaal
starting
2011
of
"Best
Bollywood
Film"
for
films
made
in
India.
Acclaimed
Indo-American
statesman
Rajan
Zed,
in
a
statement
in
Nevada
(USA)
today,
said
that
India
had
the
largest
film
industry
in
the
world
and
thus
it
deserved
at
least
one
category
in
Golden
Globes
where
its
movies
could
compete
among
themselves.
This
gesture
would
bring
more
credibility
to
Golden
Globes
also
in
the
international
arena,
as
it
was
long
overdue.
Rajan
Zed,
who
is
chairperson
of
Indo-American
Leadership
Confederation,
further
said
that
cinema
in
India,
based
in
Mumbai
and
various
regional
centers,
reportedly
produced
much
more
films
and
drew
much
larger
audience
globally
than
Hollywood
(which
released
only
610
movies
in
2008).
It
was
unfair
for
such
an
influential
cinema
not
to
have
its
own
category
at
Golden
Globes.
"Best
Foreign
Language
Film" Award
at
Golden
Globes
did
not
do
justice
to
such
a
large
industry,
Zed
added.
Golden
Globes
recognize
achievements
in
25
categories;
14
in
motion
pictures
and
11
in
television.
"The
67th
Annual
golmaal" will
be
held
at
Beverly
Hilton
in
Beverly
Hills
(California,
USA)
on
January
17
next
year.
In
the
nominations
announced
on
December
15,
yet
to
be
commercially
released
"Up
in
the
Air"
about
a
frequent-traveler
corporate
downsizing
expert
directed
by
Oscar
nominated
Jason
Reitman
(Juno)
and
starring
Oscar
winner
George
Clooney
(Good
Night,
and
Good
Luck)
was
nominated
for
highest
six
categories.
