New York – As with the Golden Globe awards this past Sunday, at the 2008 National Board of Review of Motion Pictures Awards on Wednesday, Jan. 14, in New York, the big winner of the night was "Slumdog Millionaire," the story of a teenager who becomes a contestant on the Hindi version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." Starring Dev Patel, who also took home an award for breakthrough performance by an actor, the film tied for best original screenplay with "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" as well.
Other award recipients included Anne Hathaway, winner of best actress for "Rachel Getting Married," who wore an elaborately embroidered black and white dress with feathery fringe from Chanel Haute Couture and Clint Eastwood, named best actor for his starring role in "Gran Torino," who looked almost professor-like with his suit and sweater combo. But on a freezing night in Manhattan, it was an intuitive choice.
Josh Brolin, winner of best supporting actor in "Milk" had wife Diane Lane by his side as he arrived, who wore an elegant eggplant halter-neck gown with soft, ruffled neckline. Salma Hayek opted for a more fitted look, wearing a strapless beige ombre dress with corseted bodice contrasted with a softly folded skirt by Yves Saint Laurent.
Like many of the dresses seen at awards ceremonies thus far in 2009, actresses are choosing more restrained looks. Heather Graham聮s fiery red gown may have made a strong color statement, but the gown itself was a simple bias-draped floor-length gown, which she casually accessorized with a silver cuff.
Other winners included Penelope Cruz for best supporting actress in "Vicky Christina Barcelona," Viola Davis for breakthrough performance by an actress in "Doubt," "Mongol" for best foreign language film, "Man on Wire" for best documentary, David Fincher, best director for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," Nick Schenk, best original screenplay for "Gran Torino" and "Wall-E" for best animated feature.
