Danny
Boyle's
much
talked
about
and
much
appreciated
drama
Slumdog
Millionaire
has
been
nominated
for
Best
Motion
Picture
(Drama)
at
the
Golden
Globe
awards.
The
Golden
Globes
is
considered
as
a
predecessor
to
the
much
more
prestigious
Academy
Awards
(Oscar)
and
films
which
usually
find
a
nomination
at
the
Golden
Globe
more
often
than
not
make
the
final
cut
at
the
Oscars.
Slumdog
Millionaire,
which
has
been
making
the
rounds
of
film
festivals
for
a
while
now,
tells
the
story
of
a
slum
boy
who
goes
on
to
take
part
in
a
quiz
game
show.
The
film
released
in
the
US
recently
and
has
received
both
critical
and
commercial
success.
Recently,
the
film
also
won
3
top
awards
at
the
British
Independent
Film
awards.
With
this
prestigious
Golden
Globe
nomination,
the
makers
now
surely
have
their
eyes
set
on
the
next
big
thing
-
an
Oscar
nomination.
Slumdog
Millionaire
is
set
to
release
across
cinema
halls
in
India
in
January
2009.
