9:22 PM EST : As I watch the Golden Globe Awards Live on NBC excitement soars as “Slumdog Millionaire” wins Best Screenplay award. And the cast is elated! How old is Dev Patel? everyone's asking. :)
9:45 pm EST: Kate Beckinsale is presenting “Best Original Score”. “Slumdog Millionaire” wins and A. R. Rehman makes India proud, thanks to some truly inventive music. Rahman says his piece, thanks God, and moves on. Very classy.
10:14 pm EST: It’s Best Director time, friends! And the Golden Globe goes to Danny Boyle! Now “Slumdog Millionaire” is truly sweeping! The “Slumdog” table is very happy. And so is Danny Boyle.
11:00 pm EST: It’s finally time for the King of all awards - Best Motion Picture. Tom Cruise steps on stage to present the award. And Slumdog has done it again! I watch in awe as the entire rejoicing crew steps on stage - Anil Kapoor, Freida Pinto, Dev Patel along with Danny Boyle.
That's like the icing on a perfect cake. Way to go Slumdog!!

awesome!
cant wait to watch the movie!
I did see the movie, and it was quite refreshing to watch something so different from the mainstream.
I wonder if they should come up more with such movies or will it be a case of a good being too much on display losing its value. Just a random thought.
Well Sailesh, I don't know about losing value... but I think its okay till the point Indian movies keep on sweeping the globes (read four Golden Globes :) One point of view I have come across (especially from Indians) is that they find such movies (read showing the truth) very depressing. And there are others who say why do we need a British Director to win an award? Points worth pondering! Aren't they?
Think about this. Had AR Rahman given the same piece of music to some other movie -non-Hollywood I guess, would he have won?
Yuvraj - the movie, was initially supposed to have the music, it is rumoured.
