The much anticipated wait for the announcement of oscar award winners is to be over tonight. All the nominees have already been assembled to the kodak studio except Heath Ledger( Joker in Dark Knight). He is the favourite for the award in the best supporting caregory. Unfortunately he is not there with the rest of the nominees. Slum Dog Millionaire, filmed entirely in Mumbai, is the most popular film running for the best film, best director and best original score. It has 10 nominations. The curious casef Benjamin Buttons has 13 nominations in almost all the main categories. This year’s highest earner, (world’s 4th highest earner) Dark Knight comes with 8 nominations. I would not be surprised if it bsgs the best visual effects award. Iron man, the 2nd highest earner of this year has 2 nominations. W.A.L.L -E, the animated movie got 6 nominations. It was voted the best animated movie of all time in IMDB. Kungfu Panda is also nominated for the same category. Action Paced movie “Wanted” got up with 2 nominations. James Bond actor Daniel Craig starer movie “Defiance” based on 2nd world war gets 1 nomination. “Milk” gets 8 nominations. Popular movie “Hell Boy II”, “Australia” and “In Bruges” got 1 nominations each. Lets see which movie bags which award. I hope A.R. Rahman brings an oscar back home for the Indians.
