India @ Golden Globes

As I was watching the Golden Globes today, I was amazed at the Indian representation there. It was because of Slumdog millionaire. I blogged about this movie last month - definitely one of the best movies of last year. I did not expect it to win to 4 awards - best picture, best director, best screenplay and best original score (A. R. Rahman).

It was great to watch Rahman receive the award watched by almost the entire Hollywood. When the movie won the best picture award, everybody went on to the stage to collect the award including the hero, heroine and Anil Kapoor. Shah Rukh Khan was also on stage for like 1 min introducing the movie (Knowing that he will never have the opportunity to win something like this, he makes use of his PR skills to get himself onto the stage). BIG CONGRATULATIONS to A.R. Rahman and to the crew of Slumdog Millionaire. The movie is opening this week in India and I'm sure its gonna be a big big hit as the news channels will be covering this story for at least 2 days.

Heath Ledger won a posthumous award for The Dark Knight. In the television category, 30 Rock (I blogged about this show in November) won a lot of awards - best show, best actor (Alec Baldwin) and best actress (Tina Fey).

Let's see if Slumdog can repeat this for the Oscars!
