Slumdog Millionaire- a proud moment with 10 Oscar nominations

Slumdog Millionaire has been making waves all over. This is one post I just couldn't miss out. With Slumdog Millionaire all over the place and hitting the theatres it sure is a proud moment. Inspite of the Big B's concern over the film projecting the country in poor light, all that apart...the movie is good and deserves all the attention and rewards of hard work that it is drawing. With the Golden Globe award for A R Rahman bringing a proud moment for all of us, the next is the 10 Oscar nominations that the film has received.

The film has been nominated for the Oscars in the categories for
Best Picture – Slumdog Millionaire
Original Score- A R Rahman
Best Director- Danny Boyle
Original song- “Jai Ho” by A R Rahman and Gulzar
“O Saya” A R Rahman and Maya Arulpragasam
Cinematography- Anthony Dod Mantle
Adapted Screenplay – Simon Beaufoy
Sound Mixing – Ian Tapp, Richard Pryke and Resul Pookutty
Sound Editing – Tom Sayers
Film Editing – Chris Dickens

Wishing the cast and crew all the best. Hoping to see Dev Patel in new roles now.Probably the film marks the beginning of new beginnings for the Bollywood -Hollywood ventures.
