The Academy Awards brought some surprising twists this year, though not all awards were unexpected. "Slumdog Millionaire" swept in the categories it was nominated, while "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," nominated for 13 awards, won only three. "The Dark Knight," the most popular movie of last year, won two awards.

Winner of four Golden Globes—Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Original Score--and nominated for 10 Osacars “Slumdog Millionaireâ€Â has been rightfully recognized as one of the best films of 2008.
