Do you think Slumdog millionaire deserved a Oscar?

It sure beat what it was running against. I saw all 5 of the best picture nominated films--one after another in fact at AMC theater's special showing the Saturday before the Oscars. It was the best movie out of the five--though Milk was actually really good as well. I really liked Slumdog and I plan on buying it.

Well it all depends what type of specs you are putting on and how you look at the picture.it is good and bad both but depends which side of the fence you are on.If you are a westerner you tend to like anything which is even remotely Indian.India is the story which is being read with much interest these days in the West and continues to evoke favourable views and reviews.

i believe tat it is one of the better movies that won oscar compared to 'no country for old men' and 'the departed'. although i did feel that it didn't really have the kick in it to deserve an oscar but it was a good movie. i haven't seen any of the other movies that were nominated for oscars this year so i cannot really give a comparison between the nominees. but all in all, slumdog was a fun movie to watch.

Hi vanillarey, I have already watched this movie four to five times and I would love to watch it once again. First time when I saw this movie I was having kind of amazing feeling. No doubt it is an awesome movie and the direction in this movie was superb. But still I think this movie has been bit overrated. I have not seen any other movies which were selected for oscar this year, maybe slumdog was best among them. Each oscar represents certain area of filmmaking, I think slumdog excelled in every area equally. That's why it got eight oscars.
