British director Danny Boyle's latest movie Slumdog Millionaire swept the board at the Critics' Choice Awards last night, winning five awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Writer and Best Composer. Best Young Actor/ Actress (under 21) was won by the movie's star Dev Patel, who you'll most likely know best for his part as clueless Anwar in Skins. Dev didn't make it to the awards last night, as he's in London promoting the movie, but no doubt he'll be blown away by the movie's success! I'd highly recommend you go and see the film, it's out today in the UK and it really is fantastic, emotional and heartwarming — a general all-round good movie! Check out the trailer before you go, and my girl Buzz's thoughts when you get back!

Oh i think this looks so good and I really want to see it. Plus I saw Dev on This Morning and he seemed so lovely! Congrats to everyone involved for all the awards!
1I saw him too littlemunchkin, what sweetie! My daily newspaper gave it 5 stars which is very rare!
2this movie was really well received here in the states so i'm not at all surprised that it did so well. i think that this is just an example of how you don't have to have the biggest names in the cast to have success.
