Court At Oscars

Last week, Oscar Pistorius was criticised by prosecution lawyers for apparently being too ill and depressed to face cross-examination at his sentencing hearing, yet able to give the TV interview

India's official Oscar entry for this year - the National Award-winning Court - made an early exit from the nominations race but there's still reason to cheer - actress Priyanka Chopra will be at Hollywood's big day, presenting an award

Oscar Ray Bolin was first found guilty of murdering three women nearly 30 years ago. In the decades since, every one of the verdicts delivered by juries in three separate trials was reversed at least twice by appeals courts, although ultimately he was convicted again in each case: 10 times by 10 juries, to be exact.

Oscar Pistorius, 28, was convicted of culpable homicide by the Pretoria High Court in October 2014 after he shot dead his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, 29, whom he allegedly mistook for an intruder at his residence on Valentine's Day 2013.

At the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein, state prosecutors will try to convince judges that Oscar Pistorius should be found guilty of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 15 years in the prison.

"I am very happy that Court has been selected as India's official entry at the Oscars. It is a wonderful film and it is amazing that a very fine movie has been selected. Sometimes the selection is great and sometimes it is not that good but this time it has been a very good choice," said Nawazuddin

"Though I haven't watched it yet but as I heard from those people who actually understand and are passionate about cinema, I agree it's a right choice for the Oscars," said Kunal. Directed by Chaitanya Tamhane, Court will represent the country in the Best Foreign Film category at the Academy Awards

"I feel very fortunate and grateful for the way it (Court) has been received. We did not make the movie with that many expectations. We were not sure what will happen but we were surprised constantly. It is my debut film so it is a great feeling," said Chaitanya

The courtroom drama, directed by filmmaker Chaitanya Tamhane, who made his debut with the movie has been selected as the official entry to the prestigious awards. Court also won the Best Picture at the National Film awards this year, besides winning 17 international honours after its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival in 2014

Looking stern and clad in a dark suit, Oscar Pistorius made his way through a throng of media and onlookers to enter the high court to hear whether he goes to jail, or receives a lesser penalty for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

South African Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius on Tuesday arrived at the Pretoria court where he will hear his punishment for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Oscar Pistorius last month escaped a murder conviction in a verdict that shocked the country and fuelled criticism of South Africa's legal system. The process is expected to last up to four days, with Judge Thokozile Masipa then likely adjourning court and announcing her sentencing decision at a later date.

Fallen paralympic hero Oscar Pistorius returns to court on Monday at the start of his sentencing hearing after he was convicted of culpable homicide in the killing of his girlfriend, with his lawyers set to argue for leniency.

After 41 days of tears, anguish and at times gruesome testimony in the Pretoria High Court, Oscar Pistorius, the double amputee who became one of the biggest names in athletics, will learn this week whether he will spend the next 25 years behind bars.
