Slumdog Millionaire Steals the Show

First of all, I loved this movie. I had not read the book and I fully expected it to have an ending that strayed from the typical “feel good” Hollywood movie. I’m okay with that – I don’t particularly care for “everything turns out in the end” films. 

I loved the movie from the beginning. I felt it was a lock for Sound Mixing, Film Editing, and Cinematography. Those are actually the three categories I am best qualified to vote on – in that order. I also assumed it should win for Directing and Writing – two things I know a little bit about. 

I also loved the music. I raved about it so much that my wife made it her pick for original score and song even though she had not seen the movie. I picked it for those as well.

Just a couple of days before the Oscars I read a piece that had a gripe about the film and I would like to hear your thoughts. I found the piece via SteveSilver.net - http://bit.ly/u4OtI
