I am a movie fan. Well a little movie addict. So to watch Oscar ceremony is a something which should be done. Further this year it was special because there were high hopes of A R Rehman will win the prestigious award.
I don't have a cable connection so i rely on my indoor antenna to get the tv reception. The ceremony was on Channel ABC and it took me some positioning and tuning to get the channel in a decent state. I am sure Anshu (my wife) will not be happy when she notices that the antenna is still lying on the chair, instead of its position on the top of tv :-)
Anyways the award ceremony began. I was ready with netflix website to order the dvds of movies which i haven't seen in theater. I did add a few movies. Most of them were already in the queue. Meanwhile i was also busy in setting my gmail status to the whatever current event happening at oscar (as if all the people in world are looking at my status message to find the exclusive news of oscar). The proud moment came when "Smile Pinki" won the award. I immediately pinged few friends and emailed some more to let them know about it (sorry guys i was high !!!). And then when AR Rahman got two awards it was just awesome. Me, my wife and my mother in law all were very excited. With our cumulative excitement even my 5 month old son got excited. And thus it ended. Now admitting my guilt, i haven't seen Slumdog yet and plan to do that as soon as it is released in DVD.
