The biggest question that is hanging on everyone’s head is whether Slumdog Millionaire will win it at the Oscars or not. The music director of the movie Rahman feels if the movie wins at the Oscars, it will lead to ‘bigger things‘. In my opinion, it surely shall lead to bigger things with respect to Indian names abroad.
Some people even feel that ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ will take the suspense out of Oscars. Moreover, the movie is closing in on Oscars glory. Oscar host Jackson feels he is chosen for his apparent sense of occasion, whatever that means and bling is something that is always associated with this ceremony. With so much of hopes and aspirations of so many people tied to this single movie, one would actually feel sorry if it didn’t win anything. Moreover it is entering the home stretch.
We will know how many the movie will win or if it doesn’t win anything at all. Whatever the case might be, there might be less hyped, better movies in other languages, maybe from Europe or Latin America whose directors are not blessed with the kind of Public Relations activity Slumdog Millionaire is blessed with. Let us just wait and watch what is going to happen.
