SLUMDOG Sweeping Critics Groups
SpoutBlog — It’s starting to look like early predictions that Slumdog Millionaire would be the Juno of 2008 were wrong: Juno, though a massive box office hit and an eventual Best Picture nominee, wasn’t selected as the Best Film of its year by a single critics group, an honor which Danny Boyle’s film has landed several times in the last week alone.

Other notable Austin Critics awards went to Let the Right One In (Best Foreign Language), Sean Penn, Milk (Best Actor) and Anne Hathaway, Rachel Getting Married (Best Actress). While The Dark Knight ...
