Oscars to India

With the movie Slumdog Millionaire winning oscars, and 3 of them coming to indians, it makes you wonder..........where have the previous indian nominees failed that this movie succeeded. Indians have definitely made better movies than this, the soundtrack isnt Rehmans finest, and slums have been a part of many movie scripts. What then makes this movie different?
Is it because the director was British? Remember the movie "Elizabeth" where it was the opposite, only the director was indian(Shekar Kapur) .......... or one of my personal favorites "Sixth Sense". I dont recall N. Shyamalam winning any Oscar for his movie.
The success of indians at the oscars might come as an I-dont-care-but-we-won applaud from many but the Oscars do need to consider better movies as nominees, to sustain its credibility !
