The Oscars seem to be a big deal for Indians, for some odd reason. We lost our sleep and minds over Leo DiCaprio's win. We actually had more people talking about the Academy Awards than the budget. The Oscars deserve to be Indianized. We need a stronger sense of relatability than just Priyanka Chopra's accent. So, taking a leaf out of #MakeInIndia, here's a list of people who deserve the Oscar more than Leo, or anyone else for that matter. Because, truth be told, they are the best performers out there. Lifetime Achievement Award for extraordinary work in the world of politics - Rahul Gandhi: It is only once in forever that an artist is awarded the lifetime achievement award at such a young age. But Rahul Gandhi's exemplary work over the years cannot be discounted.

Best Actress - Smriti Irani

Just when you thought this was an award with Mayawati or Mamata Banerjee's name written all over it, the legend of Smriti Irani just blitzed past them and the others in what could only be termed as a performance of a lifetime. Her speech, with the factual accuracy of a two-year-old, was yet another reminder of how she still remains the best Balaji telefilms could ever get. The twelfth pass education minister, who also boasts of a six-day diploma course from Yale University, successfully improvised on the death of an innocent child to gain political leverage. Proving yet again that education is the last thing you need in politics.

Best Supporting Actor - B.S Bassi

Is it a mere coincidence that Mr Bassi has B.S for a first name? I think not. Ex-Delhi Police Commissioner Bassi made sure that he retired from his post with something to remember him by. Being a responsible police officer of the country, BS made sure that student leader Kanhaiya Kumar felt safe and at home under the protection of the law. And those of you citing the National Human Rights Commission study which says an alarming 11,820 people died in police custody between 2007-2012 can go fish themselves.
