Ok, I liked it and all, but is 'Slumdog Millionaire' that good a movie? Perhaps people just need a fantasy film to give them hope. Considering the rest of the Best Picture contenders all critique society (aside from 'Benjamin Button' which is fantasy as well but not considered nearly as uplifting), perhaps people just want some escapism these days, and if it makes them forget reality for a minute, they will reward it.
