He got the Oscars due to the fact that Slumdog Millionaire was probably one if the hardest films to direct in the last 20 years. And to pull it off so well was incredible to say the least.
Why is that?
so true
@@ishiishi7351 only british director can handle that
@@helloyouhellome3004 never an answer to come but a statement awarding it
@@yahiryellow1for the time, bollywood was (and somewhat still is) its own entity and didn’t want anything to do with western movie making, particularly europeans investing in filmmaking. so for an englishman to deliver a story that’s true to their culture after decades of their own people tormenting India for their resources is remarkable in its own way. it was difficult to make this movie in due to that and because of it, bollywood movies have been distributed globally more than ever before.
Slumdog Millionaire was phenomenal.
It sure was! A masterpiece.
Is* :)
Landon Bangerter the dark knight deserved it
Why? Dark Knight was just a story with no moral etc. If you look at the movies that win Oscars they always cover some harsh story etc. (maybe not "No country for old men") Slumdog Millionaire did that perfectly.
SOHAM BOSE no your opinion is though
It's a shame that Chris Nolan wasn't nominated, but Danny Boyle was a great Best Director choice regardless.
Vidisha Roy Nolan has literally never made a movie that was even 1/3 as good as Trainspotting or 28 Days Later.
crappingcat nah, he made some which are way better.
@Anshul Kaushik hahaha whatever you say...
I do agree that Nolan was terribly snubbed for directing....however when it comes to choosing a winner, I would give it to Boyle...And Best Picture to TDK...Both were the best films of the year an this would be how I'd like the awards to split...
Trainspotting is leagues above anything Christopher Nolan ever made.
Danny Boyle is seriously one of the best directors ever and it's awesome that he got the recognition he deserved.
Danny boyle lives like 5 mins away from me in Radcliffe such a cool guy he is always funding local events and things like that,it's good to see an English man doing well in Hollywood that wasn't born with a sliver spoon up there arse like cumberbatch or redmayne or any other Oxford tory posh boys,doing us in the north west proud danny
Ido Portal you meam dog shit valley! its ok for me to say that.
silverspoon?
Ido Portal Looks like you don't know that people who are born with silver spoon are humble too. You just named two of them.
5 mins away from me too :P
A person saying "I am an Idiot" while receiving an Oscar is Incredible!.
Usually people winning Oscar are like they are really talented and gifted and at the top of the world and what not.
That's why I think he is great.
Danny is so fucking awesome. Just... pure charisma and joy. Plus, he has the best fashion style.
Plus he looks like Jerry Horne from Twin peaks.
1997residente O_O
🐯 he definitely earned that Oscar. Boyle is without a doubt one of the most diverse directors of all time.
David Fincher is just like- bitch please
his reactions were priceless! lmfao!
Danny Boyle should’ve also won for Trainspotting, 28 days later, 127 hours and Steve Jobs. I think this dude has become my favourite director cause while all his movies are different he directs them all perfectly!! I hope to be as good as him one day
He deserves it...great direction...master piece...
Danny Boyle seems like such a cool guy. Not always crazy about his movies but man I like him.
Slumdog Millionaire has great directing.
jwelch5742 wow
He remembered Longinus Fernandes on such a grand platform and apologized for the mistake in credits- beautiful! Beautiful! Not a big fan of Slumdog Millionaire but this speech makes me love Danny so much :)
Still can't believe that the Reader was nominated over the Dark Knight and Wall-E.
yes reality is a bitch
Can't get over it yet..Nolan was badly snubbed for directing..
I’ll never get over it. 😂 Too good for the Oscar I guess.
@@luishern1309 dark knight is better than black panther
@@hckingking Black Panther didn't get a directing nomination, either, tho.
Dany boyle, who just choreoographed the recent olympic london ceremony will now be knighted by the queen, he's such a genious and derserving.
Danny refused his knighthood saying 'It's just not my cup of tea' like any decent working class Mancunian.
At least, he mentioned the uncredited choreographer from the dance sequence
Danny Boyle can go from shallow grave to a bunch of junkies, to post apocalyptic zombie movie, to space sci fi, and so many other genres, he is the best director this world has today!
i really admire him.
And he’s about to do the bond franchise
Definitely underrated
That's what growing up in Radcliffe does to you. My mutants will agree. All of genres you mentioned are walking around here haha. Also there are some incredibly epic people here too. We have it all.
@@Cronenberglynch Hes British.
Slumdog Millionaire was one of my favorite movies in my childhood!! But the fact that the film and its director won Oscars surprised me!
2:02 Did he say "Fuck me"?
He was saying that to Reese Witherspoon
Christopher Nolan should've been nominated
But he still wouldn't have won, they don't give much credit to SciFi movie, wich is important part of cinema
@@477_sy.it.babhishektiwari4 Inception isn't sci fi though technically, it is mostly just action and thriller
Yes bro Cristopher Nolan sir is a jenius.
TheDragonKing I believe he was referring to The Dark Knight which came out the same year as this movie was. Either way, he should’ve been nominated for both
@@nickbx28 My point still stands, The Dark Knight isn't sci fi either
What a genuinely nice guy. Well deserved!
Watching this video, you would never know that brilliant, critically acclaimed movies of 2008, like The Dark Knight and The Wrestler ever existed.
Be sure to watch ALL of Danny Boyle's movies if you haven't.
He's never missed.
I haven't seen all of his films but Yesterday was rather disappointing, I blame the screenwriter though.
How wasn’t Chris Nolan nominated?
My choice would have either been David Fincher or Gus
Slumdog is the best picture of 2008 and it truly deserves it, no doubt. But The Dark Knight was brilliantly directed by Christopher Nolan and he didn't even get a nomination!! No disrespect to Danny Boyle but Nolan deserved this award and personally, I feel David Fincher and Danny Boyle were equally great for a second place
@Rosida Andriyana no it's a superhero movie of batman
TDK didn't age well, I watched it again a couple of years back & it is honestly average. The late Heath Ledger's performance was the best thing about it, imho. It is certainly better than your typical comic book adaptation, I'd argue that it isn't Nolan's best & that in hindsight, Slumdog Millionaire's direction was definitely better & the story the film tells is so unique.
@@Kay-lc4ku everyone this is what a moron sounds like^^^ its 2024 and Slumdog Millionaire has 0 cultural impact. Absolutely 0. Dark Knight should have won best picture and director easily. wow your stupid bro
This guy makes me feel more optimistc about the new Steve Jobs movie
Nolan even not nominated
Mentioning Longiness...pure class. Great director, well deserved
St Mary's Radcliffe, St Mary's was my school, it was my church, and the social club is still there. I thought I would come and watch his speech 15 years later. Never thought I would hear my little town be mentioned at an Oscars. Proud to have Danny Boyle as a local lad. One of the best
makes me proud to be from the same little town as him. Radcliffe Manchester
Gotta love how critical people can be of something they can't do any better themselves
really Reese Witherspoon presenting best director - really
Why not? She won Best Actress
That should have gone to Christopher Nolan for The Dark Knight.
2:01 - “Fuck me.”
Slumdog has such an excellent cinematograhpy .
Love the British accent..
Where's Nolan's nomination?
and that year the dark knight is the most watched most fav and one of the great movies period
Should have won Best Picture that year.
Slumdog Millionaire es de las mejores peliculas de la Historia 🇲🇽
Aww lovely speech, love how he mentions my hometown! He's a Radcliffe lad!
I love Danny Boyle, and Slumdog Millionaire was a great film (as are several others he's made) but my God did Christopher Nolan deserve that Oscar.
No, Gus van Sant, Fincher or Aronofsky (who was not even nominated) should have won
The three nominees who have not previously won--Daldry, Fincher, and most of all, Van Sant--are way overdue for more than just a nomination.
Fincher was robbed for The Social Network
Complete agreement. And for Zodiac, IMO.
Gus van sant is one of my worst directors!
But david fincher is one of my best.
And stephen daldry is great aswell
Dark Knight should have won best picture, director, cinematography alongside suporting actor...
Nah. Ledger's solid, but Nolan's direction is pretty lacklustre in comparison to his other works. A lot of fast cuts & close ups non stop. Though Best Picture should've been nominated yeah.
That year slumdog millionaire snatched all awards, what a movie
Great directing
Best Director should have been:
Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire)
Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler)
Martin McDonagh (In Bruges)
Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight) (WINNER)
Ron Howard (Frost/Nixon)
I would remove Howard and put back in Fincher. Benjamin Button is overlooked within his filmography.
Fincher should be here instead of Boyle.
If only Danny Boyle can get Millions on Blu-Ray or get it on the Criterion Collection.
2:01 - Did he just say "Fuck me."?
Why TF wasn't Christopher Nolan nominated? Dude directed arguably the Greatest Comic-Book Movie of all time and still wasn't nominated.
1:16 background music was magical..
Actually, most recipients are very humble, and thank their fellow nominees and say things like "I am so honored to be talked about amongst these phenomenal actors," or something like that. Very few are vain, or brag about their victory.
Christopher Nolan should be nominated too.
Should have won for Trainspotting but ok....
I dunno. I think what Nolan accomplished was more significant, in that he managed to take what everyone dismissed out of hand as a comic book action movie and turn it into an artistic masterpiece. Slumdog Millionaire definitely affects me, but not half as much as The Dark Knight. At the very least, it should've been nominated - both for director and picture.
The Dark Knight all the way.TDK was a masterpiece and who cares about the fucking oscars anymore
i think Trance is his most underrated movie
David Fincher deserves to win it, Chris Nolan deserves to be nominated
Benjamin Button was Astonishing and Great, it was a Masterpiece!!.
Mis directores favoritos juntos. Gus van Sant, David Fincher y Danny Boyle
No comment about David Fincher? :(
Yeah that movie was gorgeous.
His Tigger moment!
His speech should've been "I didn't have to wait 12 years for this"
Stephen Daldry needs to win an Oscar! Should've won for The Hours I reckon
I'm a dudette :) Well, I'm not quite sure what you are saying. "Who wants to be a millionaire" became a tv program template. There are several "Who wants to be a millionaire" around the world with different presenters, my country for exemple had one with a local presenter. Regis image is only connected to the show for Americans (which Danny Boyle isn't). But the program is just the setting, a scenerio, what is really important on the movie is Jamal's life journey.
Reese is a great presenter !!!
Ari Folman deserved a nomination for Waltz With Bashir
For me this list should have been:
Danny Boyle
David Fincher
Ron Howard
Christopher Nolan (WINNER)
Woody Allen
angel omar soto Vicky Christina Barcelona
I think it should have been
David Fincher
Christopher Nolan ( WINNER)
Ron Howard
Sam Mendes
Darren Aronofsky
@DARIUS-PETRU SALE Exactly. It should have won
Best picture
Best Director
Best supporting actor
Best adapted screenplay
Best original score
Best sound editing
Best sound mixing
Best cinematography
Best make up
Best costume design and
Best film editing
@DARIUS-PETRU SALE Curious Case Of Benjamin Button deserved the Oscar. The CGI is revolutionary and still holds up today.
@@ronaldmcdonald2817 Holy crap! That’s 11 Oscars. Putting it up there with Ben Hur (1959), Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
He seems like such a nice guy
probably the most british man
They look at everything like that! That's what they feel is being said!
Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler) should have been nominated
0:50 Fincher lawd 😍🥰😘
All the nominees are great directors.
Slumdog was equally good as readers or even a little better. The movie had everything.
One of the best movie.
breathtaking film man !
Slumdog millionair not just movie it's experience❤❤
Slumdog Millionaire is a Masterpiece
masterpiece film,
masterpiece director
Wasn't this movie co-directed by Loveleen Tandan? Why wasn't she nominated?
As for the meaning, I respect that Dark Knight was more meaningful to you. But in the big picture, Slumdog spoke more to non-comic book/Nolan fans
Oh Really? The Dark Knight is the most significant picture of the century. 10 years later and people are still raging about The Dark Knight. The film succeeded way above its genre.
Gus Van Sant, Stephen Daldry and Ron Howard should have been replaced with:
Darren Aronofsky, Christopher Nolan and Martin McDonagh.
Howard deserved the nomination. Take out Boyle instead.
@@ronaldmcdonald2817 This film was insanely hard to direct. The people who decide Oscar awards think what happened behind the scenes as well. They don't just watch movies for entertainment purposes
@@achyuththouta6957 The Dark Knight was harder to directed.
Yeah I don’t do that either but I agreed with the guy that Darren Aronofsky and Chris Nolan deserved nominations. Do you think The Wrestler is fun do you think the Dark Knight is fun
insane competition
I agree that Nolan is a brilliant director. I do believe he deserved a nomination as did the Dark Knight. But I don't see comic books movie dismissed at all, they have been Hollywood bread maker for over a decade now. I think Bollywood and Bollywood movies are a lot more dismissed as "funny, crazy" stuff than comic books. Proof is after slumdog there wasn't a single other India based movie to make to the elite awards since then.
Number of fucks given:
Danny Boyle: 100
Ron Howard: 100
Gus Van Sant: 100
Stephen Daldry: 100
David Fincher: NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
one of the most underrated director.
Danny, you done great Job.
The bias against big budget her films by the Academy is overwhelming. That being said, this was well deserved.
I 💙🖤 U Reese Witherspoon
Love Reese Witherspoon.
To this day i never know why wall e and dark knight got snubbed 🤦
The Dark Knight deserved a Best Picture and Director nod over The Reader! But The Hurt Locker was suppose to be released in 08 and that would've won over Slumdog and not screwed over Inglourious Basterds! Ehh everything happens for a reason I guess!
I dnt think any movie would have challenged Slumdog, critics were going gaga over it. The hype was just too much
There will be blood should have been released 2008 and slap out slumdog millionaire.
It was a very good year
reese talks like a teacher lmao
Nolan wasn't even nominated!
Thomas Fernando Music Much more evident when an idiotic movie like Slumdog won so many awards.
1:09
I disagree. I love Nolan and I think in another year I'd probably be right there with ya. Dark Knight sure was a brilliant movie. But Danny Boyle made a more powerful meaningful movie, with a more powerful storyline.
I liked Slumdog Millionaire but in my opinion Fincher should have won...
You are the most awesome , 28 days later was the best zombie movie , love it,scary though , wishing you all the best please make another one , truly a fan,
