Slumdog Millionaire almost singlehandedly swept the 81st Annual Academy Awards this time around with 8 OSCARS in major categories like Best Director, Best Film, Best Original Score, Cinematography, Film editing, Original Score, Original Song, Sound mixing and Best Adapted screenplay Out of 10 Possible nominations it has got.
It was a day that belonged to the Team of Slumdog Millionaire as it was evident when Christian Colosan the producer of the movie invited all the crew Members on stage while accepting the award for The Best Film.
Kate Winslet Won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in the film “The Reader”, while Sean Penn won the Oscar for the Best Actor for his role in the film “Milk” and Penelope Cruz did the same for her role in “Vicki Cristina Barcelona.”

Complete List of 81st Academy Award Winners
Pretty amazing feat to win so many awards without an actor or actress taking home an Oscar. If there is a star to come out of this film it will likely be Freida Pinto, the Indian actress, who played Latika in the film. Pinto, 24-years old, is rumored to be dating 18-year old co-star Dev Patel.
This is the only movie in the Best Picture category that I saw and I was extremely impressed by the film. It is extremely original and unlike anything I have seen at the cinema in the last half decade.
