Slumdog Millionaire bags 8 Oscar Awards out of 10 Nominations
Indian Cinema records 22nd February 2009 as a Golden Day – memorable for its celluloid version “Slumdog Millionaire” bagging 8 awards at the Oscar Academy Awards, out of the 10 nominations it got, for this world famous and prestigious laurel. Every year the Oscar Awards create flutters in the world Cinema Industry, as the film that wins the Oscar on whatever segment will become a box-office hit and will earn dollars and other currencies in millions to the producers, till the next year’s awards are announced.
The 8 awards Slumdog Millionaire has won are –
1. Best Picture
2. Best Direction
3. Best Original Song
4. Best Original Score
5. Best Film Editing
6. Best Sound Mixing
7. Best Cinematography
8. Best Adapted Screen Play
Now what made “Slumdog Millionaire” win so many awards in a single film is the million dollar question, the entire film world is going to wonder about. The answer is simple – a popular bottom line – a lad getting from rags to riches is a common dream, every one in the world, irrespective barriers, would like to have and this is told in the film in a fitting location like India neatly.
We can explain Best Direction by Danny Boyle, as he was impressed by the screenplay script of Simon Beaufoy (who also bagged the Oscar for Best Adapted Screen play which was based on a novel by an Indian Vikas Swarup). Best Film Editing by Chris Dickens also goes hand in hand with the shots expertly captured in film by Anthony Dod Mantle in winning Oscars.
A.R. Rehman, the Indian Maestro of film music, has bagged two awards for Best Original Score and Best Song “Jai Ho…” and it was a foregone conclusion, as he made history in bagging the Golden Globe for his extraordinary work in Slumdog Millionaire. With so many departments winning accolades individually, there is no wonder Slumdog Millionaire has become the Best Picture to be awarded with Oscar to Producer Christian Coleson.
