Slumperson Millionaire nominated for ten Oscars

The film Slumdog Millionaire is nominated for an Oscar in ten categories, including Best Picture.

Not everyone is happy about this.

Slum dwellers in India's Bihar state attacked a movie theater that was showing the movie. They were objecting to the word "dog" in the title, saying that equating slum dwellers with dogs was a violation of human rights. Reuters carried the story here.

Other movies with Oscar nominations include "Knight of the Night" (Caballero de la Noche)
