Big winner of the night: Slumdog Millionaire!
It’s official, Slumdog Millionaire is the Best Movie of the Year! The film which took home eight awards including best picture, and best director for Danny Boyle.
Once Director Danny Boyle stopped jumping up and down he dedicated his award to Winnie-the-Pooh?
“My kids are too old to remember this now but when they were much younger, I swore to them if this miracle ever happened, I would receive it in the spirit of Tigger from Winnie the Pooh,” he told the Academy audience.
“You have been so generous to us this evening. Thank you for that. And what a beautiful show you’ve done.”
My favorite thing about tonight’s Oscar’s was to see the big smiles permanently affixed to the faces of the children who starred in the film. They deserved to be there! I heard they ran up to Daniel Craig to get his autograph.
I really hope to hear success stories for each and everyone of them.
