The Other Me

The Oscar wait is over. The results are out. And Slumdog Millionaire rules the Oscar nominations! The film has bagged 10 Oscar nominations for 2009!!!

Given that the musical genius has garnered three nominations for his work in Slumdog Millionaire, one for original score and two for his songs, it should come as no surprise if he wins, especially in the best song category! And if you ask why, well the category has only three nominees and two are for Rahman: for 'Jai Ho' and 'O Saya' .

So given these figures, it looks like it will be a Rahman night at the Oscars. Sadly, we have to wait for a whole month (the 81st Annual Academy Awards are scheduled for February 22nd, 2009) to see if our prediction is right!


And here goes the nominations: 

Best Original Songs – 2 nominations for A R Rahman (for 'O Saya' and 'Jai Ho') 
Best Original Score for A R Rahman 
Best Film nomination 
Best Director nomination for Danny Boyle 
Best Adapted Screenplay for Simon Beaufoy 
Best Motion Picture 
Best Cinematography 
Best Film Editing 
Best Sound Mixing & Editing 

The Slumdog crew is on cloud nine and are certain that they will sweep the Oscars this time.

Way to go team! Congratulations on this phenomenal achievement!
