All caught up with this year's Academy Award contenders? Good. There's another batch of "Oscar" nominees to get familiar with, this time of the Bollywood variety.
Finalists for the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards — a.k.a. the "Bollywood Oscars" — were announced Thursday, serving as an invitation list for a weekend of festivities slated in Tampa, April 23-26.
Leading all films with 10 nominations is Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, based on the turbulent life of Milkha "The Flying Sikh" Singh, a world-class sprinter at the 1960 Olympics in Rome. In his youth, Singh's family was massacred during the India-Pakistan partition conflict, leaving him homeless until joining the army and running in competitions.
