Good news!! Today "Slumdog Millionaire" - a story of poor boy's rise from slum dwelling to the victory in the game show has made it successfully at Oscars with 8 wins of 10 nominations. Below are the categories against which the movie made its fame.
Category                      Person
Best Picture Christian Colson(Producer) & film crew
Directing Danny Boyle
Music (Song) A R Rahman
Music (Score) A R Rahman
Film Editing Chris Dickens
Sound Mixing Resul Pookutty
Cinematography Anthony Dod Mantle
Writing (Adapted Screenplay) Simon Beaufoy
Though there are many questions raised with so many Oscar wins, the welcoming news is that it recognized the much overlooked Indian talent. For instance, though this was not Rahman's best music score, his well deserved win in a way has opened the International platform for him and others.
