Finally gave in and saw "Slumdog Millionaire" last night, not at all expecting to enjoy it. I was totally wrong!
Slumdog 10/10
Spectacular. Excellent writing, acting, directing. Beautiful cinematography and editing. Superb music choices. Very clever use of various kinds of plot devices, shots, and color schemes to fuse Hollywood and Bollywood styles in what amounts to a comparatively gritty yet vibrant revisionist Indian cinema. A must see, and a shoo-in for Best Picture.
