I'm so happy that Kate Winslet won. She deserves it. It's long overdue. Let her win the Oscar whether supporting or the lead actress. SHe's great on both films.

Slumdog Millionaire is an ordinary film.Hundreds of films come out in India with the same theme every year and does not go for international recognition.Just because the film was directed by a British it makes it to the globes and maybe oscars.The music is great BTW.

Just to clear some things up...

Slumdog Millionaire is a British movie. It was produced and financed by Film4 and Celador. It has a British director and production company, though it was filmed in Mumbai and the majority of the cast and crew are Indian, so artistically it truly was a collaborative effort.

Fox Searchlight/Warner are just the US distributors of the film, they didn't actually make it.

Secondly, it cannot be nominated in the "Best Foreign Language Film" category because two-thirds of the film is in English.

The BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) nominations were announced today and the winners on Feb 2nd give a good indication to the Oscars.
Good luck Danny Boyle and Slumdog Millionaire...stunning film making!

I think Milk should win best picture. It had the strongest message of any of them. Sean Penn should win best actor as well. To Jon, the first poster: Slumdog Millionaire is an American movie. It was produced by Fox Searchlight/Warner Bros. so it would not be a foreign film.

There is no Best Foreign Picture category in the Oscars.

But there is a Best Foreign Language Film Category.

Think why Slumdog wont fit in that category.

Benjamin Button is a great film. But I haven't watched Slumdog yet, so I would reserve my comment.

As a very proud Israeli, I'm thrilled that "Waltz with Bashir" won for best foreign film and I wish it further success at the Oscars.
