When Frenchman descend on Oscar nights, it creates a pronunciation nightmare for the general English speaking world.
The Best Actor winner is Jean Dujardin whose name is pronounced as zhawn do-zhar-da(n) (rhymes with van)
In Hindi, it would read as शॉन दूशारदॅन. The last 'न' is nasalised and pronounced like "मैं". The "श" is just an approximation for the sound which comes in televi'zh'un.
The Best Director went to Michel Hazanavicius which is pronounced as me-shell ah-zah-nuh-we-SEE-us
मीशेल आज़ानअविसीअस is how it would read in Hindi.
By the way the best foreign film went to the Iranian film which is being called "The Separation". But the actual name of the film is Jodai-e Nadar az Simin (The separation of Nadar from Simin) and it is pronounced as jew-thy-eh-nadir us sim-in. जुदाई ए नादिर अज़ सिमिन is how it would read in Hindi.
