The Critic’s Choice Awards were last night. Here’s how things ended up:
Best Picture: “Slumdog Millionaire”
Best Director: Danny Boyle, “Slumdog Millionaire”
Best Actor: Sean Penn, “Milk”
Best Actress: Meryl Streep, “Doubt” & Anne Hathaway, “Rachel Getting Married” (tie)
Best Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger, “The Dark Knight”
Best Supporting Actress: Kate Winslet, “The Reader”
Best Writer: Simon Beaufoy, “Slumdog Millionaire”
Best Foreign Language Film: “Waltz With Bashir”
Best Animated Film: “WALL-E”
Best Documentary: “Man On Wire”
Best Acting Ensemble: “Milk”
Best Young Actor/Actress: Dev Patel, “Slumdog Millionaire”
Best Composer: A.R. Rahman, “Slumdog Millionaire”
Best Song: “The Wrestler,” by Bruce Springsteen (”The Wrestler”)
Best Action Film: “The Dark Knight”
Best Comedy Movie: “Tropic Thunder”
While I enjoyed Slumdog Millionare I’m not sure if it deserves all of that (I know folks will disagree with me on this though)
Things I am happy about = Sean Penn winning for Milk, Wall-E winning best animated feature and Anne Hathwaway winning for Rachel Getting Married.
takepart to learn more about freeganism, a group of folks, that much like Wall-E, get what they need from what people have thrown out. You can easily adopt parts of freeganism into your life and help prevent the future that exists in Wall-E.
Also enjoy some trailers to the winning films I was pleased with below:

I agree about slumdog. While it had charm, a great musical score and brilliant cinematography., i really do think it lacked a strong narrative and had some flaws in chracter development. There were strong films in the running.
