Kate Winslet and Slumdog Millionaire are the night’s big winners

Everyone wants to be a Slumdog Millionaire

Some of you may be wondering why I haven’t weighed in on Slumdog Millionaire yet, which opened commercially this week. Here’s why. It was the very last film I saw at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. I saw the night after closing night, at a free public screening at the Elgin theatre, recognizing the fact that TIFF audiences had voted the film the Cadillac People’s Choice Award. Everyone loves this picture. It’s this year’s Little Movie That Could. And expect to see it fill the Oscar niche previously filled by Juno and Little Miss Sunshine.
