Five vital Oscar questions: No ‘Slumdog’ actors? R U kidding me?
3. “Slumdog Millionaire” earned 10 nominations, but none for acting. How weird is that?
A: Very. It’s almost unheard of for the Academy not to at least throw a best supporting bone to such a highly regarded film. Of course, no one in this wonderful movie is a “name” actor. “Slumdog” will have the last laugh when it wins best picture.
