Yes.. this will be my homepage for the next 30 days for sure.. with Rahman being nominated for 3 Oscars, who would want to miss the SHOW.. 22nd of Februry is all i'm waiting for...!!!
It really feels great just to see Rahman being nominated for Oscars along with Thoman Newman (a 8-time Oscar nominee) and James Newton Howard (a 7-time Oscar nominee).. can you even think of that...!!?? Winning the Oscar for Original Score will be the best that Rahman can get.. n that too gettin past these 2 geniuses... you should jus listen to Howard's score for films like Blood Diamond, Michael Clayton to get to know how brilliant he is.. the same goes for Newman with scores for films like Shawshank Redemption, Scent of a Woman and Finding Nemo... thats the reason i really doubt if Rahman can win the Oscar for Original Score.. he's got only a mere 20% chance here... :(
But.. but... i can bet anything on him winning the award for Original Song.. this is for sure.. for real sure... 2 of the best soundtracks n my favourites from the album, O Saya and Jai Ho being nominated.. i'm damn sure he's gonna win this one without any doubt... he must win atleast for the sake of numbers.. yea.. he's got 67% chance here...!!! (only 3 nominees in all for this award..)
Comin to the movie Slumdog Millionaire, with the other 7 nominations, i expect it to win atleast 2-3 more.. seein the way its been attractin people worldwide n the attention its been drawin.. it shud win awards for Editing, Directing (given quite a few of the Globe awardees have won the Oscar too) and probably Adapted Screenplay...
However, i honestly do not know how well the the movie is gonna be recieved here in India.. as its releasin tomorro.. its not a movie that has dance.. or fights.. or indian-sentiment.. or dialogues.. or drama.. duh.. i mean its not a Bollywood movie u kno.. n these guys here r all celebratin n goin ga ga over it.. not even knowin how the movie is gonna be.. n do u think the dumb, dumb bollywood actors n filmi personalities would like it...!!?? Hell they wont...!! but they wont show it.. thats the thing...!!! they wud come out of the preview n say "this is wat we want to see.." "great to see hollywood and bollywood come together.." "wow.. its a giant leap for bollywood.." "we have proved to the world that we produce quality movies".. wat... i didnt hear it.. wat did u jus say...!!??? there was no producer or director here to make this book into a movie.. fyi - the book Q&A was published in 2005.. n it took a brit to identify and make a movie based on it... duh.. watever... no worries as long as good things come out of this...
Comin back to the Oscars.., i must mention the movie that i was very curious to watch since i first came across the storyline some 3-4 months back.. i 've been jus very curious since then.. yes.. i'm talkin abt The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.. the storyline is somethin that one cannot even imagine of happening.. n quite obvious that it wont ever happen... but its got 13 goddamn nominations.. winnin 5 out of 13 wouldnt be a surprise.. one for Makeup is pretty obvious.. with other nominees bein Dark Knight and Hellboy.. there's no stoppin Benjamin boy here.. n the other for Costume Design.. would u even believe that the filmmakers worked very hard to get the vintage clothing frm Levi's...!!?? one for Cinematography, one for Art Direction.. n hopefully one for Brad Pitt... hope he wins atleast this time...
My guess for the Best Movie would be Milk.. only for the storyline it has.. hope Slumdog gets it.. but, its been a very rare thing for a movie to win both the Globe n an Academy...
So.. here we go.. the wait starts for Hugh Jackman to start off with his presentation on the 22nd Feb.. hopin that SRK wouldnt turn up n do his so-called pelvic dance (that he threatened to do at the Globes) at the ceremony... pray for Roooman.. no.. Raaaman... na.. Rahman...!! :)
psst: sorry for the number crunching there.. kya karoon... control nahi hota... engineer u kno... :P
