It seemed to do well at the awards tonight. Kinda wanting to see it now. I will usually give most shows a chance. I hadn't even heard of it before tonight, so yeah. I might watch it.

 

I was personally dieing to see the result, This year we have some controversies, All Asian people and Asian Origin was concern about Slumdog Millionaire, We just wanted the success of A. R. Rahman. Thats here comes the result. A.R.Rahman wins both 2 Oscars. We are all delighted.


Slumdog Millionaire wins altogether 8 Oscars out of 10 Nominees. Rock On Slumdog Millionaire.

This is an awsome movie.I have never enjoyed myself while watching a movie. And no words to explain about the musical score by ARR. None could have matched the score for this movie if not for ARR. He deserved it.

 

Thanks for list and I am glad that A R Rehman bagged two awards and I am sure today Indian news channels will show it whole day.

 

I really felt very happy for receiving Oscar award for "Slumdog Millioniare" film to AR Rahman...

 

Yeah great...Congratz to AR Rehman and whole Slumdog Millionaire team...I am also happy to see AR Rehman winning 2 awards

 

A.R. Rahman got 2 oscar awards

 

it totally worths the Oscar, a masterpiece

 

The music maestro spells in the kodak. only two statues have been bought to INDIA till yesterday. now this single man has bought two other. this shows that we also need that extra bit of luck, If u got to achieve at greater heights.

 

8 awards out of the nominations in 9 categories. simply mind blowing. but the miserable part is about the 'Curious case of benjamin button' 13 nominations, 2 awards. It deserved much more.

 

man........ Rehman rockzzzzz........

Jai Ho.....

 

It has won so many oscars (8) yet, And i think it would be catch some more oscars very soon..i was not watched this movie but after seen the result of movie on oscar really want to watch it....would be download it )_O

 

Rehman rocking man, i hope he is a good symbol for india,

he even spoked in tamil.

 

So happy Kate got the complete set of awards this year. She truly deserves it. Nice touch getting her dad to whistle at her during her speech.

well done super Kate.

 

Its really mind blowing, only problem is this Slumdog Millionaire directed and produced by International people. But i am sure talented(we really have some talented director in India, not many bt we really have) Indian director could make this movie far better, there is point of improvement. The story is Indian, the artist is Indian, The CSE is Indian, Music is India Indian director should get the chance to direct this. But if Its Directed By Indian ppl they even never give normal nomination. Its pathetic. The main Plus point of this movie is its script and story.

 

Benjamin Button = the Hillary Clinton of the Oscars

(reason: it was the heavily financed favorite, cost over $150 million to produce, got the most Nominations)

Slum Dog = BARACK OBAMA

(reason: it got caught up in a huge HYPE that was infectious and eventually everyone got on board and forgot about Hillary, I mean Benjamin Button)
