Slumdog Millionaire--An Almost Perfect Oscar Sweep

By Matthew Bandyk

Posted: February 23, 2009

This post is somewhat neither-here-nor-there, but this is what I was thinking last night:

How bad you feel if you are the sound editor for Slumdog Millionaire? Sound editing was the only category in which Slumdog was nominated for an Oscar but did not win, losing to The Dark Knight.

Anybody an expert on motion picture sound? Why was Slumdog's sound mixing Oscar-worthy, but not its sound editing?
