55th National Film Awards, India: Malayalam sweeps!

I had just written about Keralam and Malayalam movies positively and negatively. And now, Malayalam sweeps 55th National awards:
  1.  7th National Award for Adoor Gopalakrishnan (Best director for "Nalu Pennungal").
  2. Editing: B.Ajith ("Nalu Pennungal").
  3. 3rd one for Shyamaprasad (Best regional film for "Ore Kadal").
  4. Best music director: Ouseppachan ("Ore Kadal").
  5. Best make-up: Pattanam Rasheed ("Paradesi").
  6. Best non-fiction award goes to Jayaraj's "Vellappokkathil" (Malayalam).
  7. Best cinema book award to M.F. Thomas (Malayalam).
  8. Best film critic: V.K. Thomas (Malayalam).
Besides, prominent personalities in Malayalam movies bagged awards for their works in other languages also:
  1. South Indian actor Prakash Raj bags the Best Actor award through Priyadarshan's Tamil movie "Kanchivaram".
  2. Best feature film "Kanchivaram".
  3. Best art direction for Sabu Cyril ("Om Shanti Om" -Hindi)
Is this to disprove my negative comments? Any way, Malayalis can be proud once again and celebrate!
