Yes absolutely... It was great feeling to see rahman on oscar stage.. Eventually had goos bumbs when he speaks.. Although felt bit odd when "Mickey rourke" didn't get best actor award.. For me he was far ahead of sean penn..

good work....n congratulations to rehman n rasul......!!!!! 2 Indians who made India proud @ Oscars....!!!!

congratulations to Danny Boyle n all the winners n team of Slumdog Millionaire....!

Congratulations to all the other winners.....i wanna watch the curious case of Benjamin Button

Best of brad pitt in terms of acting.. Loads of magical camera tricks which put brad pitt older to younger.. Absolute treat to watch.. I also recommend to see "The wrestler" and "Milk".

hmmm i wanna watch milk as well...not keen on wrestler thingy...

I'll only say one thing.. "If you miss THE WRESTLER, you surely missing ACTING", Mickey rourke at his best..Not a long movie, but very emotional one... Just manage some time for this movie and you won't regret..

Gosh seems i'm promoting this movie..Where are the producers

Yeh. Even I was disappointed.
Generally, Oscars are fair in this regard.
Like, if iI remember correctly, the year Titanic swept the Awards, the Best Acting awards still went to "As Good As It Gets" (wonderful film it was too).

Well i guess 70th academy awards was fair atleast for best actor and best actress.. Absolute stunning performance of jack.. Though "Good will hunting" was not far... Intot oscars are fair... Nominations in oscars is real good achievement..

i am really happy for the entire cast and crew of Slumdog Millionaire ... 8 oscars is simply superb ... Rahman Rocks ... :clap:

Had it been indian movie it would nominate in "Best Foreign Language Film"... It's "British drama film".. It was released on Nov 12 and Dec 18 in US, Jan 9 in UK and Jan 23 in INDIA...

Congrats Rahman.....You made India Proud today... :clap:

We all are forgeting Gulzar sahab ... he also won the award for best lyrics i think ... Congrats to him too ... a well-deserved one - not only for this movie - but for the service he has given to indian film industry for all the years

Rahman and others have made India proud...Jay Ho...

Lyrics is not separate category in oscars... Gulzaar sahab and A.R.Rahman together got this award.. But we cannot deny his hard work in Slumdog Millionaire... Way to go gulzaar sahab also.. :clap::clap::clap:

RESUL also won Oscar for sound mixing......

and ofcourse congrats to REHMAN

yep.....all the 3 made India very proud....!!!! apart from tht the performance was pretty good.....but i found beyonce's performance to b better....

Yes beyonce was good... I found jackman real good as presenter.. The way he introduce almost all the oscar nominees in song when oscar starts.. It was great fun...
