Sujoy Ghosh: `I want Stephen Frears' Philomena to win. There's no way it'd win. But that's the one I love the most.She is the one who stayed with me.`
Shoojit Sircar: `It's a toss-up between Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity and Martin Scorcese's The Wolf Of Wall Street.`
Amole Gupte: `My choice is Gravity. It's the 21st Century Solaris
Ajay Bahl: `I loved The Wolf Of Wall Street. I think it's Leonardo di Caprio's best performance to date.`
Raj Nidimoru: `Alfosno Cuaron's Gravity hands-down.It's a spectacular achievement where unprecedented craft meets beautiful human emotions.A spectacle we experience only once in a while. What is interesting is that the principal actors have not been nominated. But the film on the whole shines over the others.`
Bejoy Nambiar: `Gravity is my choice, though I loved The Wolf Of Wall Street a lot more. But I still think Gravity is a pathbreaking cinematic experience .It will almost surely take the Brest Picture Oscar.`
Prawaal Raman: `12 Years A Slave. It beautifully portrays the spirit of survival against all odds.`
Santosh Sivan: `Gravity is awesome. It touches a new cinematic level.`
Ananth Mahadevan: `Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave. The depiction of the dilemma of a man unjustly sold as a slave captures a regrettable chapter of American history.Steve McQueen paints a heart-rennding picture.I prefer this human drama to the other nominees.`
Sahil Sangha: `As a diehard Scorcese fan I'd want to see The Wolf Of Wall Street win. Gravity is another favourite because it is a rare exception that given the technical boundaries it has pushed, it still touches us as a human story. Jean-Marc Vallee's Dallas Buyers Club and Philomena are also excellent.You have successfully asked the toughest question of the year and I'm suddenly not envying the Oscar jury one bit!`
