Slumdog Millionaire – the little picture that could- takes top prizes home at 81st Academy Awards.
Not only did Slumdog take best picture but also the directing award for Danny Boyle with its ghetto to riches love story.
Slumdog Millionaire also scored adapted screenplay, cinematography, editing and both music Oscars, score and song.
Kate Winslet nabbed Best Actress for The Reader, Sean Penn Best Actor for Milk; the late Heath Ledger Best Supporting actor for The Dark Knight and Penelope Cruz, Supporting Actress for Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Oh and if you’re wondering what La Cruz habaled en espanol – here’s the translation:
“"All of the loyal people of Spain are now sharing this moment with me and feel that this is theirs also. I dedicate it to them. To all of the actors of my country, many thanks!"
