“Co-Director” Loveleen Tandan (center) with SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE stars Freida Pinto and Dev Patel.

According to the Internet Movie Database, Danny Boyle is the director of Slumdog Millionaire and Loveleen Tandan is his “co-director,” but this morning the Hollywood Foreign Press Association nominated Danny Boyle, and Danny Boyle alone, for a Golden Globe award in the “Best Director” category. Question: If Loveleen Tandan was Danny Boyle’s co-director then, why isn’t she his co-nominee now?  I sincerely believe this question deserves an answer, but unless we all ask, we’ll never get one.  So please open the pdf at top, print Page One, sign it, & mail it ASAP directly to Chantal Dinnage.  If you feel the need to act immediately, then fax it to publicist Michael Russell as well. As my pdf explains, the stakes are high & this really IS something worth fighting for!!!
