The Oscars..... Slumdogs Night!


Guest

Recommended Posts

Morning all.

 

So I got up to the news that Slumdog had won 8 Oscars overnight, and it is BIG thrilling news.

 

But, I am a keen moviegoer and film fan, and I hate how you can watch the news and find out nothing except which British folks won!!!!!!

 

I am happy "to fly the British" flag but I really like to know how the other Oscars went.

 

For instance I wanted to know if Heath got an Oscar (yes)

 

Did Benjamin Button receive any Oscars? (yes)

 

Sorry obviously in a moany mood today!!!

 

So what are your thoughts re the results this morning?

 

Did you see Slumdog?

 

What did you think?

 

Which film do you think has been the best you have seen this year?

 

Have a good day all x

I tell you the one thing that has shocked me about the film though - I saw an article on the news the other night about the Indian child stars of the movie who were being flown out to L.A. for the Oscars and they were picked from and still live in the slums of Mumbai.

did anyone read the article in the mail a week or two ago? it was so disturbing it put me off seeing the film! its touted as a feel good film but the reality of what happens in mumbai is horrific- children maimed i.e blinded, limbs amputated etc by gang masters who put them to work begging on the streets, it made me cry!!
