Slumdog children get new homes

February 25th, 2009

Sunday night saw the
81st Annual Academy Awards and it was full of the usual glitz and glamour.

There were some fantastic dresses and some very dapper men. It was 6th time lucky for Kate Winslet as she finally won an Oscar for Best Actress, Best Actor was Sean Penn, Best Supporting Actor was the late Heath Ledger and the Best Supporting Actress went to Penelope Cruz.

The biggest winner of the night has to go to the film Slumdog Millionaire which scooped a massive 8 Oscars making it the most successful British film in a decade. Probably one of the best things to come from this years Oscars is that two of the child actors from this film are being bought new homes for them and their families. There was outcry when it emerged that these children were still living in slums despite the millions of pounds being taken for the film at the box office.
