it's also very much a surface-y "experience" movie without much to it, which I think is more often than not a defining quality of some of Boyle's work. He's more interested in aesthetics and "style as substance" than the narrative content, IE 127 Hours, Trance, etc.

Boyle's a vividly somatic filmmaker who likes fucking with form dictating content. Steve Jobs, imo, is the best executed version of that recently, although 127 Hours is exactly what it wants to be.

Also Slumdog was positivity a time of negativity...

That's not it. It's just that crowd pleaser oscar baits with uplifting endings never work around here. I can guarantee that people here wouldn't have much problem with TSN winning in 2010 or ZD30 in 2012.£

And also because it's a pretty standard bollywood movie (95% of which are mediocre btw), just made by an Englishman. Vishal Bhardwaj, Anurag Kashyap, or Ram Gopal Varma in his prime (90-00s) would've made a better movie with same story.

And also because Rahman's subpar and nauseating soundtrack won Oscar.
