BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — “Slumdog Millionaire” lived up to its underdog theme at Sunday’s Golden Globes, unqualified all four of its categories, including best drama and director for Danny Boyle.

Kate Winslet won brace Globes all on her own, best dramatic actress because of “Revolutionary Road” and supporting actress for “The Reader.” “The Wrestler” also had two, dramatic actor for Mickey Rourke and best song for Bruce Springsteen.

“Golden Globes, or the GGs being of the kind which we very affectionately refer to them — your raving, pulsating affection for our film is much appreciated. Really, deeply appreciated,” Boyle said.

“Slumdog Millionaire” also won best screenplay and musical sake, firming up its prospects for the Academy Awards. The pellicle features a generally unknown cast in the history of one orphan boy in Mumbai who rises from terrible hardship to become a champ on India’s translation of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” all the while trying to reunite by a dissipated inclination from his childhood.

“We absolutely weren’t expecting to bring forth existence here in America at all at one time, so it’s just amazing to be here,” said Simon Beaufoy, whose winning script was adapted from Vikas Swarup’sitting novel “Q & A.”

Winslet, who has previously been nominated five times without winning at both the Globes and Oscars, won for her role as a woman in a crumbling marriage in “Revolutionary Road” and as a former Nazi concentration pitch one’session tent guard in “The Reader.”

“Revolutionary Road” was directed through Winslet’s save, Sam Mendes, and reunited her with her “Titanic” co-star Leonardo DiCaprio.

To DiCaprio, Winslet gushed: “I’ve loved you for 13 years and your performance in this film is nonentity short of spectacular.” To Mendes, she added: “Thank you for directing this film, babe, and thank you for killing us every single day and really enjoying us actually being in such horrific pain.”

Woody Allen’s Spanish work of fiction “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” won with regard to with most propriety melodious or comedy film.

The three films that led the Globe field with five nominations each — “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” “Doubt” and “Frost/Nixon” — all were shut out.

As expected, the late Heath Ledger earned the supporting-actor Globe for his diabolical turn as the Joker in the Batman blockbuster “The Dark Knight.” The Globe win boosts Ledger’s prospects for the supporting-actor honor at the Oscars, whose nominations come out Jan. 22, the one-year anniversary of the actor’sitting death from an accidental overdose of recipe drugs.

The adjudication was accepted by “The Dark Knight” director Christopher Nolan, who said he and his collaborators were buoyed by the enormous acclaim and reception the film and Ledger’sitting performance have gained worldwide.
