The way Danny Boyle and team are going around the globe collecting one award after the other, it appears they may probably end up not doing any project at all for the year 2009, but just spend the time in preparing the emotional speeches and scribbling their diaries in different dates of various award functions.

After many awards in different cities in the US followed by the ‘Golden Globe’, now the team is back in London to sweep a bagful of awards from British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA).

What else can we say about this proud team which has again hit the news in bagging seven awards from BAFTA? As usual the film “Slumdog Millionaire” tops the list with the director Danny Boyle and AR Rahman follows for his Best Music Score. The other Indian to shine in this award is Resul Pookutty for Best Sound Editing. This apart, the movie also secured awards for Best Screenplay (Simon Beaufoy), Best Cinematography (Anthony Dod Mantle) and Best Editing (Chris Dickens).

A small change in Danny Boyle’s speech this time is that it involved his defense to the name “Slumdog” which received wide objection from the “Slum Dwellers” in India. He also had to go one step further to clarify that he had compensated very well to the children who acted in the film and said that he had put in place an educational plan for such under privileged children, thus ensuring his commitment and presence forever among those children.
