For the first time, Indian citizens are in contention for two of the golden statuettes -- for best song and for A.R. Rahman's musical score. Directed by England's Danny Boyle (Trainspotting), and based on the page-turning novel Q and A by Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup, the film has captured the hearts of audiences and critics around the world with its tale of a child from the slums, a tea-boy in a call-centre who wins a TV quiz show modelled on Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
Is the "Slumdog millionaire" Indian story based movie an unlikely Oscar contender?
If Slumdog Millionaire follows its four Golden Globes and Screen Actors' Guild awards, and seven Bafta awards (the British Oscars) with an Academy Award or three, most Indians are bound to celebrate. And, if some of the larger-than-expected profits are directed towards the slums where the movie was made, the protesters are quite likely to fade away. What they want, after all, is a share of the glory.
Good luck to the "Slumdog Millionaire" crew.
