I went on about Slumdog Millionaire on Monday. And I’ll keep going on about it every day.
Because we’re off and running, it’s awards season, and the National Board of Review just named Slumdog Millionaire Best Film of the year, thereby further strengthening its chances for an Oscar nomination. YEAH!
You must see it. Please see it. Even if it’s only playing in one theatre where you live. Stop seeing Twilight 6 f-cking times.
Also good news for Anne Hathaway – Best Actress. At this point, it looks like Anne is a lock for a nod.
