Those kids were cute as heck. Without them, there's no Oscar. I hope they get a few million out of all this.

S M was nominated for Ten Oscars. It won eight, Lost "Sound Editing" to Batman, what was the 10th nomination that it lost and to who ??

AR Rahman and his group did get to perform at the Oscars ceremony but despite the live music, including humongous drums, had no juice in the "Jai Ho" number without Sukhvinder. I wonder why was Sukhvinder not included ??

Sukhwinder, who has sung Jai ho from the film Slumdog, feels that Jai ho's popularity and victory is blessed by lord Shiva because it's not a song but a prayer to the almighty.

I was confident that the song will win Oscar because you know the Oscar award ceremony has taken place on this spiritual day of Mahashivratri. "

Asked if he is disappointed for not being present at the Oscar Award ceremony, he says, "No, I am not disappointed because Jai Ho has achieved what we expected and the international glory has come to the country. I don't regret it in terms of my personal loss for not performing at the Oscars but yes I feel that had I performed there, it would have a matter of pride for our own countrymen. Indian music has already a had magical effect at the Oscars."

Sharing the reasons behind missing the opportunity to be present at the Oscars, Sukhwinder said, "I was supposed to get a performance visa from Fox but they botched up and it delayed. Anyway this is not something bothering me much. I am very happy and satisfied that lord Shiva has showed his love and we achieved."

(As far as Gulzar is concerned, you can never find enough words to praise him). I was really thrilled when I heard words like Zariwale Aasman.

Hi

I was just wondering what was the movie clip they showed with Amitabh Bachchan? It looked good.

Thanks!

They showed several, though all were just about a second or so; most prominent were those from Zanjeer.

Met danny boyle over the weekend as he was in his hometown where i live to have a pint in the pub down the road from my house!

Faddy, what did you think of Slumdog?
