Another Oscar

Smile Pinki


Almost forgot, a short documentary called "Smile Pinki" recieved an Oscar too. A lot of Oscars to the indians.



Plot summary from IMDB.com:

It's about Pinki, a five year old girl from some village of Mirzapur District, India, born in a desperately poor family, and with a cleft lip. They never realized it just required one simple operation, until she meets Pankaj, a social worker traveling from village to village gathering patients to go to hospital in Varanasi that provides free surgery to thousands each year. Told in a vibrant style, this real-world fairy tale follows its protagonist journey to a dream smile from isolation and shame.

Congrats and a few party pics

Slumdog Millionaire Oscar Party

We just wanted to congratulate AR Rahman for sweeping 2 Oscars at the Academy Awards last night. Way to go! Let's not forget Gulzar, who wrote the lyrics to "Jai Ho". Also Slumdog Millionaire got a total of 8 Oscars, out of the 10 that it was nominated for. Best picture and best director (Danny Boyle) is two of the categories SM won.

A lot of celebrities attended the Slumdog Millionaire party. Here are a few party pics. Serena Williams is posing with some dude, the guy who plays Sylar in Heroes was there, the guy from Leathal Weapon-movies was there too, Tyrese Gibson (2fast2furious 2much with the 2), "who's that girl" Eve and a cheering crowd that jumped up'n'down everytime they won. Their thights must ache right now from all that jumping.
