I’m glad I didn’t participate in an Oscars drinking game based on Slumdog Millionaire wins. With 8 Academy Awards under its belt including Best Picture, that would have made me one wasted Jinra. In all seriousness, 8 wins out of 10 nominations ain’t bad for Slumdog Millionaire. In addition to Best Picture, the film picked up awards for Best Director (Danny Boyle), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Original Song (’Jai Ho’), Best Cinematography, Best Sound Mixing and Best Film Editing! Color me not surprised.

Slumdog Millionaire wasn’t the only film that held it down for Asia at the Oscars. Yojira Takita’s “Departures” (Japan) picked up an Oscar for Best Foreign Langauge Film and Kunio Kato’s “La Maison en Petits Cubes” won an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.

Here for a complete list of Oscar winners.
