Slumming it with the best

This piece might come in handy if you’re thinking of placing a sneaky fiver on the winner of the Academy Awards this year.

Slumdog Millionaire looks like it’s going to sweep all the big awards. BAFTA will almost certainly go for it (Frost/Nixon a likely second-place). The Golden Globes have already bestowed their stardust on the film.

Now it’s down to the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. And according to the New York Times’ film blog, it’s running away with it.

Great news!!!

Jon Stewart is to host the 2006 Oscars. Fantastic! For once it might be worth sitting through the marathon, if only for his witty putdowns at anyone who gets over-emotional in their acceptance speech.
