I don’t know about you guys, but I’m even more excited for this weekend than normal (if that’s possible). Why is that, you wonder?

OSCARS!

Yes its finally here…Welcome to Oscar season kicked off by the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards!  Thanks to last night’s ceremony I can now predict and place my bets on nominations and possible wins for the coveted naked man.

Hey ThinkTalkers, do you remember when director Danny Boyle said on our show something along the lines of how it would be interesting to see a star bridge the cultural gap between Asia’s film industry and the dominant Western film culture? Well, guess what?

Acclaimed director Danny Boyle joined the Director’s Cut recently to discuss his newest film Slumdog Millionaire. The film tells the story of an 18 year-old orphan who receives the chance of a lifetime by appearing on India’s most popular game show, “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.” The well-told story deals largely with fate, destiny, friendship, and love. Slumdog Millionaire won the People’s Choice Award at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival and has been met with critical and popular acclaim.
