receiving the best picture and best director Oscars at the 81st Academy Awards
held today. Well done, Danny Boyle. To think that this movie was going
straight to DVDs cos it had problems with distribution!!! What a sacrilege if
it had.
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE was nominated for ten Academy Awards and won eight of
them, the most for any film for that year. It also won five Critics' Choice
Awards, four Golden Globes, and seven BAFTA Awards, including Best Film.
A very special congrats to the Indian Film Industry too, with two of its
prodigies, Resul Pookutty and AR Rahman, bagging three awards at the ceremony.
The awards are the first for the Indian Film Industry.
AR Rahman, the composer of the soundtrack of the movie, took home two golden
statuettes, and Resul Pookutty, the Bollywood sound engineer, one, as part of
the winning sound mixing team.
The star for India was definitely AR Rahman, known as the Mozart of Madras,
who picked up the Oscar for best original score before scooping the best song
award moments later.
He was nominated for two songs under the best song category - Oh Saaya and Jai
Ho, which he sang during the Oscar ceremony. Jai Ho took home the coverted
price. Check out this YOUTUBE clip from a very talented mixer who has combined
both of Rahman's songs in his clip.
If you haven't already watched SLUMDOG
MILLIONAIRE, I urge you to catch this movie. You can also check out my
review of the movie SLUMDOG
