'Slumdog' Triumphs With 4 Globes



It was a clean sweep for "Slumdog Millionaire" after winning 4 at the 66th Golden Globe Awards by the Hollywood Foreign Press.

It's an inspirational story of Jamal Malik, a call center assistant from the slums of Mumbai, India, who wins Rs. 20,000,000 in the reality game, "How Wants To Be A Millionaire." It won Best Picture - Drama, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Score.

Another big winner of the night was Kate Winslet who won Best Supporting Actress in "The Reader" and Best Actress - Drama in "Revolutionary Road."

The Best Actor - Drama title was given to Ricky Rourke in "The Wrestler" and the Best Actor - Comedy trophy was handed to Colin Farrell in "In Bruges." It could have been Meryl Streep's 7th Golden Globe (in "Mamma Mia!") but Sally Hawkins of "Happy-Go-Lucky" brings home the trophy for Best Actress - Comedy. "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" won Best Picture - Comedy.

A highlight of the night was when Heath Ledger wins a posthumous Golden Globe in "The Dark Knight." Director Chris Nolan received the award on Ledger's behalf. He said, Ledger "He will be eternally missed but he will never be forgotten."

In the TV race, "30 Rock" rocked the night winning Best TV Actor - Comedy for Alec Baldwin, Best TV Actress - Comedy for Tina Fey and Best TV Series - Comedy.

"Mad Men" was the Best TV Series - Drama. Anna Paquin won Best TV Actress - Drama in "True Blood" while Gabriel Byrne in "In Treatment" won Best TV Actor - Drama.
