Good morning friends. It’s a nice feeling when there is a good news with my fellowmen. Knowing that it is an Oscar Award, it’s a pride.
It was the day of the Slumdog at the Oscars! Out of the ten Oscars that it was nominated for, Slumdog Millionaire swept eight Oscars, which included two Oscars for music maestro A R Rahman, Best Director for Danny Boyle and Best Sound Mixing for India’s Resul Pookutty.
The film opened its Oscar account by winning in the Best Adapted Screenplay category for Simon Beaufoy.
There was no looking back as the film went on a dream run to win awards in Film Editing for Chris Dickens, Best Cinematography for Anthony Dod Mantle and Sound Mixing for India’s Resul Pookutty.
36-year-old Resul Pookutty created history by becoming the first Indian to bag the Oscar for Best Sound mixing. Pookutty shared the Oscar with Ian Tapp and Richard Pryke for their collaborative work for the film.
“This is unbelievable. I share this stage with two magicians…I dedicate this award to my country,” Pookutty said while accepting the award. The biggest success for India came with a double Oscar treat for Rahman for Best Original Music Score and Best Song (Jai Ho).
