The Kodak Theater, LA.
"INDIA IS NOW AT THE CENTRE OF THE CENTRE"
I bet, this day, is gonna be frozen on the sands of time. It is not only the honour to India but also to its spirit which was potrayed in the film...
At the grand Kodak theatre in Los Angels,the fairy tale from rags to riches about a chaiwallah who strives hard to find his lost love stole the show by winning 8 Oscars of the 10 nominations! The winning categories are:
BEST MOTION PICTURE
BEST DIRECTION
BEST MUSIC [JAI HO]
BEST SCORE
BEST FILM EDITING
BEST SOUND MIXING
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
It was well-predicted that the film would win the BEST PICTURE award. This award indeed reflects Danny Boyle's hard work. Inspite of some people opined that the movie depicted the slums awefully and even the welfare of the child-actors(omg, what an amazing acting!) were questioned.True, but atleast a part of it is the reality, right?? Hard to accept the reality, isnt it?? So,it is the society's responsibility to make the difference. Questions apart, Danny Boyle deserves this award...
CONGRATULATIONS for your spirit, hardwork and faith[:)]
The amazing kids at the Oscars
I could not sleep the previous night, honestly. About midnight I managed to doze...
But even then, I dreamt of newspapers flashing the victory of the film! Iwoke up today morning wishing and praying that it should come true! THANK YOU ALMIGHTY! I am so happy for the film and especially RAHMAN ji ( I'm a crazy fan !).
Been a dream run for the MOZART OF MADRAS.He's truly phenomenal and inspirational! As we are basking in the music of "MASAKALLI ", this news is indeed a great one, the maestro could give his fans! His original score and sound mixing truly deserves an oscar. And it was of course, predicted. It would have been surprising only if he hadn't got the award. But what I still dont understand is , why a few people didnot like the score.JEALOUSY??, well, may be...He is the same person behind the revolutionary ROJA, the soul melting GURU,VANDE MAATHARAM, the peppy YUVAA...Besides, when you cannot expect a melancholy or running-around-trees-romance kind of music when its a matter of life and death! Moreover, if you dont have quality, you certainly cant win an Oscar.So, please for heaven's sake, dont ever try to comment in such ways, remind you, how many films were rejected half-wa and didnt even make up to the nominations.
What is really great about him, is that, after accepting the award, he first thanked his mother and also spoke in Tamil! ( ELLA PUGHAZHUM IRAIVANUKKE, which roughly tanslates to " ALL credits to THE ALMIGHTY", which is actually the first verse of one of his tamil scores for the movie, AZHAGIYA TAMIL MAGAN).He also answered that he would do a balancing act when a journalist asked if India would lose one of its great composers to Hollywood.Now, thats a relief...How many people have you ever come across in your life, who is so humble and down-to-earth, just like him?? HATS OFF TO YOU AND I PRAY TO GOD THAT ALL YOUR VENTURES IN FUTURE SHOULD BE SUCCESSFUL!
The relatively unexpected award that turned out to be a huge surprise was RESUL POOKUTTY for the best SOUND MIXING.Its been a great day for INDIA at the world's stage.CONGRATULATIONS! And Ofcourse, M.I.A, did a wonderful job too!
And, dont forget, "SMILE PINKY", the documentary which bagged the Oscar in its category. It would surely bring about awareness about the cleft-lips and giving such children a new lease of life...A refreshingly new theme, directed by MEGAN MYLAN from KERALA!
oh, you have to admit, Whatte day! I hope the luck also favours Rahman's school of music "K.M. conservatory" and rise to fame...So lucky that the people of Hollywood have found a great music director for themselves and no wonder, he will become busy than ever!
THREE CHEERS TO THE TEAM OF SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE[:)]
