Slumdog Millionaire(Slumdog Crorepati in hindi, did they not get a hindi term for Slumdog or just want to cash in on the new 'slumdog' brand) was nominated for 4 Golden Globe awards and bagged as many. Now, the oscar nominations have come, and it is 10, a big number, so trying to predict how many of them will be converted. I am keen on A R Rehman bagging the awards, would be proud that an Indian finally got the elusive oscar, for an Indian subject, eventhough technically a British film.
Now, out of the nominations:
BEST PICTURE - Chances are high.
BEST DIRECTOR - Chances are high
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY - may not materialize
BEST FILM EDITING - Good, but not sure
BEST MUSIC SCORE - Critically acclaimed, should get this one,
BEST SONG - Sureshot with 2 of the 3 nominations and Wall-E is the other, it would get best animated movie award, but this will be A R Rehman's
BEST SOUND EDITING - TDK, Wall-E are there
BEST SOUND MIXING - TDK, Wall-E are there
BEST WRITING (ADAPTED SCREEPLAY) - sure again
Going by the views in the net, it is kinda sure that, best pic, best music(both), best director, best screenplay would be bagged, so 5/10 is done, for the remaining 5, if we take the 1/5 probability(nominations), then 5*1/5 = 1, so 6 is what the prediction.
Let us see if it gets 6 Oscars.....
