Every 'Slumdog' has its day: 'Millionaire'


LOS ANGELES — Slumdog Millionaire is the Academy Awards champion, wrapping up its ghetto-to-glory story by winning best picture and seven other Oscars, including the directing honor for Danny Boyle.
A story of hope amid squalor in Mumbai, India, Slumdog Millionaire also had wins that include adapted screenplay, cinematography, editing and both music Oscars, score and song.
Director Boyle offered warm gratitude to the people of Mumbai, saying they "dwarf even this guy" as he held up his Oscar statue.
The other top winners: Kate Winslet, best actress for the Holocaust-themed drama The Reader and Sean Penn, best actor for the title role of Milk
