Tehran — Winning the Best Foreign Language Film award at the Golden Globes might not mean much in most countries, but in Iran many stayed up through the night to watch Madonna announce that “A Separation” by Iranian director Asghar Farhadi took the 2012 prize.

An Oscar for Asghar!

This proves once again that Iranians, especially those who took to the streets back in 2009 love America and given the chance will change the Regime and then come to Hollywood for a visit!

It is only the West-residing, Petition-signing, Regime-friendly, War-talking cyber warriors who hate the West.

The Golden Globe frenzy has increased hopes that the film will also win an Oscar, which would be a first for an Iranian film.

“Maybe some people in our society don’t like this film,” said Houshang Golmakani, editor of a film magazine. “But this is the best public diplomacy Iran has had in a long time.”
