*Slumdog Millionaire*, the exhilarating rags-to-riches fairy tale set in Mumbai [Images <http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=mumbai>], swept the Oscars with eight awards including the best picture, best director, best adapted screenplay; with A R Rahman becoming the only Indian to bag two Oscars for the best score and original song. "I don't know if he has seen *Slumdog Millionaire*. I know he wants to," White House spokesman, Robert Gibbs, told reporters during the course of his daily press briefing. Gibbs said Obama has watched several movies recently. "I think that a lot of the movies that he has seen recently are movies that might also entertain a seven-and-a-10-year-old girl. Not sure that *Slumdog Millionaire* would be on that list," Gibbs said. http://www.rediff.com/movies/2009/feb/24obama-wants-to-see-slumdog-millionaire.htm -- regards, Vithur
