I think, the movie itself was very good. I liked the plot, the acting, and the overall storyline. It wasn't something you would see everyday. Unless, you have been living in an under-developed country, you have no idea what's going on half way across the world. So, I think the journey towards the big screen, is in itself a great achievement for such a low-budget movie in consideration to other bigtime Hollywood movie (and stars, of course). I think direction played a big part in this movie - I thought the flow was really well done. At times, I felt a cold yawn developing underneath but, it never really reached its heights. So, good movie.. Good action. And, I agree - that kid shouting Amitabh Bacchan was completely hilarious - and, a sad fact about it, is that most of what we see on the big screen on Slumdog Millionaire is more or less, entirely true.

A ---> I think it deserved the Oscars, maybe not all 8 (considering the hype of course, I could see that coming as well) . I remember, the first week it got released, I went ahead and searched for locations showing the movie. - 1 theater 35 miles away! To those who haven't watched the movie, go see it. Maybe you will like it :-).
