8 Oscar for Slumdog Millionaire, Congratulations.

Absolutely Cjay! India is celebrating its 3 Oscars. A R Rahman, My favorite deserved this long time back with his better original scores but I guess, Oscar has its own categories and criteria. Congratulations to him, to Rusel K to Danny Boyle and his wonderful team. The posthumous Oscar for Heath ledger was captured in most poignant of moods when his parents ans sister walked up to the podium. Kate Winslet got it this time when everyone was betting on Meryl Streep, my favorite. I just finished watching the ceremony and in absolute joy. I have watched the film, twice. And I loved it even though I have loved many similar films in our country. Its no different except from some edges. I think it overdid some aspects and you would feel the same for you have also spent time in Mumbai. I would not go into the movie in detail but its certainly a matter of great pride for all. Congratulations to the team! Do watch and let me know. I will review it later after you have watched it, May be in mail.

Hello my dear CJay77 Ji, It was a great feelings of all Indians at home, barring few, who said, it was not an Indian Movie (None other than jaya bachan), probably she could not reach to red-carpet. It only shows her charcter. I am really delighted and India is elevevated to new heights. May god bless you and have a great time.

It really feels great and is a proud moment Cjay. I did watch a part of the ceremony and hope to catch up with the rest of it later today as they will be repeating the telecast. I'm yet to see the movie and would be doing so some time in the next few days. The enthusiasm now to watch the movie is definitely much more.Oh yes they are having a blast here, and everyone just seems to talking about the movie and along wih another short documentary by the name Smile Pinky, which won an oscar.

i didnot watch the oscars but i did watch the movie.they really deserved the oscars(i would suggest many other movies too.,but as the saying goes,BEGGARS CANT WISH(I MEAN,I AM NOT THE ONE HANDING OUT THE OSCARS)

Dude!What a question?This movie does deserve all these credits.Its not a kind of movie where the Elite people normally works.This is something different,Can you Imagine 9 Children from the SLums of Mumbai have walked through the Red Carpet.Isn't it amazing!Hats of to Danny Boyle for giving chances to those Slum dwellers,which has changed their life from the Slums to the Red Carpet.Im so happy for our Music Maestro A.R Rehman,he is rocking everywhere.His Tamil lines(Yella Puzhalum Eeravanuka)which means(All Praises to The Almighty) indeed show his passion towards his native place.I watched the Oscars lively from the Television and I have seen SlumDog Millionaire 4 times as of now.

hi...i have not yet seen the movie but i saw the awards function ....that was really great day ....each time they announced slumdog millionaire as winner i was so excited and happy ...and finally i was waiting ofr A.R.Rehman to win and it happened .... beacause he deserves it for captivating music.....

I have never even heard of that movie. LOL Wow 8 Oscars that is a lot of wins. I did not view the Oscars either. That just did not interest me. They never vote for who or what I am interested in anyway. :)

I have read the reviews of this movie. I have not seen it so far. However, I firmly believe that it has something special and outstanding, that is why it has been awarded so many Oscar awards. I believe the selection process is quite a tricky and tough one and a movie is not selected for an award, till it goes through many rounds of rigorous analysis.

Hello cjay. I have seen the movie Slumdog Millionaire and for me it's a great movie. It shows what people do to survive in this life and to get what they dream of. Like in our country, we see a lot of poor people (young and old) trying so hard to earn money for a living and survive. Some of them gets lucky and some just fails. You should watch it and you'll see. It happens in our country.

hi cjay, I haven't watch this film too.I am also curious about this film and i am trying to find a copy.Anyways Congratulations to the winners.

It is really a good movie,i never seen the oscar awards but this movie won in BAFTA awards too. The staff are really done great! I can't wait to for the release of DVD to watch it. Happy posting.

I did see this movie and I really did enjoy it, however I had no interest in seeing this movie until it cleaned up at the oscars. I had to see it then to see what the big deal was? I was very pleased with this film. It is a Love Story but a very different love story and It is well told! Having said that, I guess it is Oscar worthy tho there are several other films that were nominated I personally preferred to this one.

Thank God Philippine time is more advanced to the U.S time, actually the Feb.22 9:00pm time in the U.S is Feb23 9:00am in the Philippines, so I got to watch the oscar during day time. I was also curious about slumdog millinaire. So finally last night I watched it with my friends and we are very impressed with its wonderful story and screenplay, it was amazing actually and really deserved an Oscars. It was more beautiful than Benjamin Button.

i've been heard about it before, but i'm still curious because i heard alot of rumor that the player of this movie still live poor in india. i dont know whats going on the film was success but the star of this movie still live poor

Hi CJay, Like you I also didn't watch the Oscar's last night but learned from the newspaper about the awards. Of course India is in a celebrating mood with the awards. I would like to congratulate those who got awards. We are really proud on them. Hope they will get more wards in future too.

I watched the OScars in the might it was a very fine cermony i must say n also the Slumdog millionare bagiing 8 Oscars was awesome i saw it all and was very please for india as it got some recognition atlast. Slumdog is a very realistic film n i think it is the time for Indian Directors to come forward with some realistic films. All the child actors in the film were awesome n so was the music king Rahman he is really on a roll

hi slumdog really deserves the award their garnering right now from a low budgeted a film it enters the oscar wt pride of their works. its really touching movie u see the kids surviving in this harsh world. lots of trials they withered. the brother wether his bad but his intention to his brother is good. im sadden because of the hardship they face while growing up. at the very young age they lost their mother and pitted their selves in surviving of the fittest. i talk to one indian passenger of mine and ask his opinion about that movie and he says its a a low budget movie but now its making its wave to oscar. he said that story is really happening in india. that movie really deserves to win an oscar. congratulations to all the people who work hard for making this movie. more awards to come and im really happy for your success.

Yesterday ,I heared that slumdog millionare had won 8 Oscar prizes.So many mylotters in this discussion give this movie high remarks.and now ,I can't wait for downloading it.

Congratulations to you also. It deserves all this. Everyone got there reward for doing there work. I have seen this movies at least 5 times. I like it very much. I like music creativity A R Rehman also. All the kids have did a splendid job.

It is a pitty that i just watch this movie last night, but i have no idea about how many award it got before i read what you wrote in this discussion, actually i watched it because some of my friends who had watched it recommanded it, it deserves to have a watch, at least the romantic story it wants to describe is impressive.
