I saw Slumdog Millionaire today. I'm not saying it is bad (it isn't) but it didn't do anything for me personally. Standard "love story against the backdrop of disaster" story where the disaster is epic poverty. The Who Wants to Be a Millionaire gimmick also didn't click (though an American remake I'd go see if they got Regis to play the host character).
So, I'll not be supporting it for any of the awards I've seen it up for so far.
