Slumdog Millionaire," the little film about a poverty-raised teaboy who goes
on a game show as a way to find his lost love, won best picture Sunday
night, earning a total of eight Oscars at the 81st annual Academy Awards.
"Millionaire's" other honors included best director (Danny Boyle), best
adapted screenplay (Simon Beaufoy), score (A.R. Rahman), song ("Jai Ho,"
co-written by Rahman), cinematography (Anthony Dod Mantle), sound mixing and
film editing. List of winners, nominees
Boyle literally jumped up and down as he accepted his award, saying that if
he ever won he'd bounce like Tigger from "Winnie-the-Pooh."
Rahman was equally appreciative as he accepted one of his Oscars.
"All my life I've had a choice between hate and love, and I chose love, and
now I'm here," said Rahman.
