mOscar awards 2008 (Maldives)
Baftas, Oscars, Crystals and Moscas. In slightly less expensive cafes everyone is talking about awards. In the last 4 months this country has held 3 film festivals with 3 award ceremonies. Mollywood industry which produces less than 2 feature films on average a year holds an award ceremony every other month. About 150 people work in this industry who need constant reminding of how great their work is. According to industry sources each of these ceremonies costs about 10 times the budget of a typical Maldivian film. And 2 times the budget of the most expensive Dhivehi movie made in the past 10 years.
A year, 2 movies, 3 awards shows. Half a million Ruffiyaa for each of the shows. Note: this is excluding Hotel and transport charges.
The latest show was held at Dharubaaruge and the participants were invited to stay in Male' at Nalahiya Hotel for the ceremony. They were offered to stay in the lobby free of charge for 30 minutes (from 8:00 to 8:30pm). They can use free toilets and were served with Taza mineral water at this time. Taxis were washed and turned into limos by placing a sticker on the number plate and on top of the word "Taxi". Everyone was greeted well at Dharubaaruge which hosted the latest of the awards. Government owned newspaper Miadhu and lots of government related businesses sponsored the event. The actors danced with the sponsor's name boards at the end of the show. Sponsors were made very happy looking at their bodies move with the brand logos.
I am happy to have watched all 3 shows live on MTV.

The award ceremonies sux. A waste of money. I think they should try making a film instead. A nice post.
no, they should stop making movies
coz its better not making anything compared to what they make now
i like how Muhumma kalo came to the Ceremony dressed as Dracula (he had lipstick on)
Zee of Zee salon was very cute (famous director Abdul Fathah Abdul Gayoom's stylist)
i think they should stop making films and give more awards.there are two ways we can do this. one is we give awards to films from the very first to the very last dhivehi movies up until now. no more films wil come. we will have to choose from what we already have.
the next option is, we will give awards to hollywood and bollywood films. ofcourse they wont come here first...so we can start by people wearing their masks and recieving the awards. so we will have a dhivehi star to represent each holly wood and bollywood star. this will create many job opportunities also.i think you should tell your boss about this and make him tell kutti about this.this will be a great reform to the industry.
I agree with moyameeha here
