The conspiracy raging against 'Slumdog Millionaire'

Final ballots for the 81st Academy Awards should land in Oscar voters mailboxes beginning today, so it's only natural that the final shots should be fired as well.

Most of the damning allegations are being hurled against Fox Searchlight's "Slumdog Millionaire," rather obvious since the film is the unquestioned front-runner and an easy target for rivals.

As noted earlier in this column, forces were at work in India trying to disparage Danny Boyle's surprise hit and awards magnet leading to a front page L.A. Times story last Saturday pointing out some of the negative criticism essentially saying the film is a "white man's" vision of a slum-ridden India.

Today, a story kicking around since early in the season about the treatment of some of the local Indian child actors reared its ugly head again with allegations that the film's producers and distributors paid them dirt cheap wages and have not been concerned with their welfare.

Weinstein Factor. He's the executive producer of The Reader. The guy is dirty in terms of campaigning for his movies from the past. Remember Shakespeare in Love that won Best Picture?

I read somewhere that Aniston will be there as one of the presenters. Ohh the whole Aniston vs. Angelina/Pitt drama continues. The spotlight will be on them instead of the winners.
