Sunday evening saw happiness and excitment beaming on most Indians faces with Slumdog Millionaire bagging 8 awards at the Oscars. They received awards for Best Picture,Best Direction,Best Music (Song and Score), Film Editing, Sound Mixing,Cinematography and for Best Adapted Screenplay. Though most of the awards were justified I really didnt think Slumdog dreserved the Best Picture award. Having watched all the movies that were nominated I was hoping that Frost/Nixon, Milk or Reader would have received the award. Slumdog Millionaire was definitely a good movie but being an Indian, most of the movie was just like any other bollywood movie...a lot of unpractical stuff and a love story!! The music in the movie was good but undoubtedly was not AR Rahman's best. If he had to be recognised world wise for the best music he has composed so far, i think he would win endless awards.
Under the Short Documentory category, 2 more Indian based documentories were nominated out of which one of them (Smile Pinki) received a award.
So does it really look like Bollywood is coming to Hollwood??
