“Slumdog” Wins Big at BAFTA – Full List of Winners

by Jane Boursaw on February 9th, 2009

The little movie that could — “Slumdog Millionaire” – continued its reign of dominance on the awards circuit, taking home seven awards from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA).

The film earned awards for best film, director (Danny Boyle), cinematography and adapted screenplay for writer Simon Beaufoy.

But my favorite new speech-giver is Mickey Rourke, who once again earned a best actor prize for his role in “The Wrestler.” As with his Golden Globes speech, he pulled no punches and dropped a few f-bombs among other colorful language. I can appreciate that.

After the jump, see the full list of BAFTA winners…
