The Oscars & Slumdog Millionaire


Of course Danny Boyle's energetic and creative direction in a movie now up the ladder from a cinderella story has kept Hollywood critics talking. Writing the script also added a whole lot to the films flavor. And that's where the script writer Simon Beaufoy comes in, in this movie. The script was superbly written to a point all talk last night was Beaufoy not being given enough attention.

But nevertheless, this evening on Hollywood and Highland the stars will be shining and the Oscar for Best Picture goes to Slum Dog Millionaire from my viewpoint. A story of a slum boy orphan growing up in the slums of Mumbai, India, with his brother and ending up competing in a game show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" The uniqueness of the story is putting two difficult genres together in a love story relationship over ten years. If you haven't seen the movie, Jamal's storyline well scripted by Beaufoy is what should in my own opinion earn this amazing movie a couple of Oscars.


That's my pick (Best Picture) and I'm taking it to the bank.

Well, seems like from the slums of India Slumdog stole the show at the Oscars. Hollywood is fleeing the rituals.
