Last night was more like South Asian night when SLUMDOG MILLIONARE Dominated the 81st annual Academy Awards! It was empowering for all South Asians when Slumdog Millionare took home 8 awards of it's 10 nominations! BIG UPS to A.R Rahman who was up against himself as two of his hits in the movie were nominated and he won best original song for "Jai Ho". Rahman sang himself and put on an excellent performance with John Legend helping out and Barananatiam Indian dancers and drummers. A.R thanked our Dear God in TAMIL!!!!!!! BIG TINGS! We have to give big ups to T.O because Slumdog was headed straight to DVD until it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and gained raving reviews, which soon became to spread world wide! The children of S.M were star struck as they met their fave actors such as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and got their autographs in their book. I don't really care about the other winners but they included; Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz? Sean Penn, who is not enemies with his pal Mickey Rooney who were competeing for the same award AND the late Heath Ledger for his role as JOKER. Heath's family accepted the award and said the Oscar was gonna be given to his daughter Matilda. Anyways, SLUMDOG MILLIONARE OWNED the night!!!!!!!
