Slumdog Millionaire gets Oscar nomination
Danny Bole sitting in his cabin must be wondering how many more surprises and turns are in store for his movie Slumdog Millionaire, for this movie has seen highs and lows, all in a short span of 10 days.
The first high came in the form of 4 Golden Globe awards and high appreciations, followed by strong criticism from a certain quarter including Amitabh Bachan. Then a legal suit was slapped against Anil Kapoor and A R Rahman and within the next 24 hours, we hear that Slumdog Millionaire has been nominated under 10 categories for Oscars and Rahman has been nominated for original score for two songs (Jai Ho and O Sayya)
Other categories for which the movie has been nominated for Oscars are, Best Director (Danny Boyle), Best Adapted Screenplay (Simon Beaufoy), Best Sound Editing (Tom Sayers), Best Director (Danny Boyle), Best Sound Mixing (Ian Tapp, Richard Pryke and Resul Pookutty), x and Best Film Editing (Chris Dickens).
The Oscar awarding ceremony will take place on 22nd of February
