South Africa Celebrates First 'oscar' Win South Africa Celebrates First Oscar Win

[@ReeveZ 0]

South Africans are celebrating their first Academy Award win for the gangster film "Tsotsi," which took home "best foreign-language film" honors at last night's awards ceremony in Hollywood. Last year, South Africa's offering, "Yesterday," was nominated for an Oscar but lost out on an award. The two movies crown a revival in local movie-making after years of isolation under apartheid

If I am not mistaken Charlize Theron is a South African and she has won an Oscar already, so Tsotsi is not a first South African to win an Oscar After all.
