The Oscars, Revived and Re-lived…

This year’s Oscars seem to have this magical feel surrounding it. Even after three days have passed since the show the feel still lives on. For quite a few years now the Oscars was struggling to get ratings and produce a fabulous show that was memorable and watched by all. But they failed. The shows were dull and long and you don’t even remeber who won and who didn’t and what happend in the show just stayed with it and died at the end of the day. But this year the magic lives on, the feel lives on, every single moment of the show is right in front of my eyes and the feeling is simply great. It was not a fancy show, due to budget cuts and the recession the show had minimal acts but they were simple yet enjoyable and was wanting us ask for more.

Of course Slumdog Millionaire was a huge winner not only at the Oscars but globally as well. Not a single film since the Titanic has received such global recognition and applause than Slumdog Millionaire. Everyone from the States to Canada to India to China to England to Australia seem to celebrate together the victory of this movie. Its infact a modern story giving us all hope that if a boy from the slums can do it what are we waiting for? So its close to heart and it deserves the win and recognition it just multiplied all over the globe! The music do I even have to go there? Phenomenal and A R Rahman just proved the world what he is made of. The music is haunting. Not just Jai H, but O Saya, Latikas Theme, Dreams on Fire and Mausam are simply fabulous and pushed the world music scene a gizzlion notches higher. Bravo! This is just the beginning and we are awaiting for more magical masterpieces!

Amidst all the Slumdog buzz I cannot fail to realise the best actor win for Sean Penn for his portrayal of Harvey Milk in the movie Milk. I should say this is not any ordinary win. It’s a subtle recognition of the Academy towards Gay Rights I should say. Yes Brokeback Mountain was a start, but theres something about Milk and the win for Sean Penn that seems to voice a much more stronger opinion to lift the ban on Gay marriages in California or even the States. I hope this is a new beginning.

Yes I hope this is a new beginning for the world to come together and celebrate one another in a global stage called the Kodak theatre. Let all our Dreams be on Fire! Adios!
