The Washington, D.C. Area Film Critics Association has spoken – and it’s all good news for director Danny Boyle.
WAFCA selected Boyle’s “Slumdog Millionaire” Best Film in its just-announced annual awards. The group, which I’m proud to say includes me as a member, delivered four awards in all to Boyle’s film.
The news will only help “Millionaire” as Oscar season approaches.
With no clear favorite so far, plus the likelihood that a populist film like “The Dark Knight” could alienate some voters, Boyle’s latest could be the prohibitive favorite come February.
Here’s the full list of WAFCA winners:
