The best picture goes to Slumdog Millionaire! The true essence of the film is "about optimism and the power of hope and our lives," according to the Indian composer and Oscar award winning (Best Score and Best Song) AR Rahman.
Some quotable quotes on Slumdog's 8 wins:
"My kids are too old to remember this now but, when they were much younger, I swore to them if this miracle ever happened, I would receive it in the spirit of Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, and that's what that was."
-Slumdog Millionaire's Danny Boyle on bouncing up and down as he accepted his best director award.
"There are certain places you never imagine standing - the moon, the South Pole, the Miss World podium and here."
Slumdog Millionaire writer Simon Beaufoy on winning best adapted screenplay.
"We don't see this world (Hollywood, Oscars) most of the time - we get a glimpse of it in England. But after, I'll be going home, having a cup of tea and we're looking forward to that just as much as we're looking forward to tonight."
-Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle on enjoying the best of both worlds.
