Slumdog Millionaire Oscar Nominations | 10 Nominations for Slumdog

Two songs from the film 'Slumdog Millionaire' have been nominated in
the Achievement In Music (Best Original Song) category for the 2009
Oscars - but Bruce Springsteen has not made the shortlist.

The 'Slumdog Millionaire' songs 'Jai Ho' and 'O Saya' are up for the
award, alongside 'Down To Earth' from 'WALL-E'.

Elsewhere on the nominations list Rourke is up for the Best Actor
gong, Kate Winslet is up for the Best Actress award, while 'Slumdog
Millionaire' is nominated for Best Picture alongside 'Frost/Nixon'

An eighteen-year-old from the slums of Mumbai finds himself competing
on the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," where the questions
he must answer offer a look back at his earlier life. The show's host,
however, insists that he must be cheating and takes steps to force
young Jamal to admit that a boy from such an impoverished background
could not possibly possess the knowledge necessary to win the show's
top prize.
