Slumdog takes Best Picture at Critics’ Choice Awards

Posted by Dan Stasiewski On January - 8 - 2009

No real surprise as Slumdog Millionaire takes top prize (and 4 others) at the BFCA Critics’ Choice Awards. (Sorry, The Dark Knight fans.) All signs continue to point to Slumdog as the Best Picture favorite.

Damn me for not having cable television. I’d would have liked to seen some of these acceptance speeches, especially Kate Winslet’s for her surprise win in the Supporting Actress category. These speeches are make or break for a potential Oscar winner.  You’ll see more of them on Sunday at the Not the Oscars… err… Golden Globes.
