Oh wonderful Slumdog!

It's back again to make me happy :) Oscar nominations have been announced. Slumdog Millionaire is nominated for:

Best Picture
Best Cinematography
Best Director
Best Film Editing
Best Original Score (A.R. Rahman!!)
Best Original Song (two songs from Slumdog compete with only one other song from WALL-E)
Best Sound Editing
Best Sound Mixing
Best Adapted Screenplay

'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' has received 13 nominations as compared to Slumdog's nine. So get ready to watch the Oscars on Feb 22. A.R. Rahman will probably be thanking the 'Aaalmighty' once again - and Anil Kapoor dancing like a monkey, but who cares when their film is making everyone on Ellen's set dance like monkeys..

Dev Patel sounds just like Simon Cowell! I didn't know he was British.

And is THAT one of the great songs that's been nominated? Sucked!

Perakath - Two Slumdog songs are nominated for Best Original Song - 'Jai Ho' and 'O Saya' - you should check out 'O Saya' if you didn't like 'Jai Ho'.

Piper - The movie is awesome! Its really brilliant! Some people have problems with it but, as you can tell, I don't :)
Anil Kapoor is supposed to be annoying in the film - and he doesn't show off his body hair - so he's okay. You must watch it!
