“Slumdog Millionaire” was Critics’ Choice Awards’ final answer for the winner of Thursday night. The movie won the honors for director Danny Boyle, writer Simon Beaufoy, star Dev Patel and composer A.R. Rahman and for the best picture. Boyle said it had been amazing to see so many awards for their film, which he calls “a love song” to Mumbai.
Boyle added in the backstage that they had felt like Indians who are mad about movies and it was all about the fact that when you find a film you like, “you go for it really.”
A garish, stunning stream of shade, resonance and action, “Slumdog Millionaire,” the most recent production by extravagant Danny Boyle, does not investigate the inferior pits, but it flippantly springs up from one dismay scene to another. “Slumdog Millionaire,” is a contemporary fable depicting a poverty-stricken chap aiming to become rich over night, the magical nosh-up that transmits viewers brain and body-related impulses mainly occurs in India’s Mumbai, where kids and dogs search through garbage cans that almost pass on their filth and smell, as the film plunges into various scenic drains that expose their grimy odor.
“The Dark Knight” won the honors for best action movie and best supporting actor for Heath Ledger. The director, Christopher Nolan, came on stage to accept Ledger’s award, as the crowd respectfully stood to their feet. Nolan said that he couldn’t speak on Ledger’s name because “his voice was as unique as it was original.”
Yet, Nolan told the people present at the Critics’ Choice Awards that working with Ledger, who died of an accidental drug overdose at the beginning of 2007, had been the most wonderful experience “any of us ever had or will have.” He added that the actor’s contributions to cinema have to be of great appreciation and this award represent one of those appreciations.
“Milk” won the trophy for best actor. Sean Penn, the director of the movie, stated that he would have chosen the real Harvey Milk to play in the starring role, as the gay leader who was shot. Penn added that he had the charisma an actor could only dream about.
This has been the 14th annual Critics’ Choice Awards, presented by the Broadcast Film Critics Association at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, honored cinematic excellence in 17 categories.
The group represents almost 200 TV, radio and online critics from United States and Canada and they had founded the Critics' Choice Awards in 1995.
