"Slumdog" cleans up nicely at Golden Globes bash

Last night, millions of Americans settled in to watch some ridiculously gorgeous actors and actresses -- and the producers and directors who employ them -- feted by the Hollywood foreign press at the 66th Golden Globes Award.

Amid the $5,000 tuxedos, $50,000 evening gowns and $200,000 necklaces, a simple rags-to-riches movie about a poor kid in India looking for love and reality-show success dominated the awards.

"Slumdog Millionaire" won four awards, including best drama, best director, best screenplay and best musical score.

If you haven't seen "Slumdog" yet and plan to do so before the Academy Awards air on Feb. 22, expect a more crowded theater when you go.

The Golden Globes can have that effect.

Outside of "Slumdog," the big winners of the night included HBO, which cleaned up for its miniseries about John Adams; Kate Winslet, who won for best actress in a drama ("Revolutionary Road") and best supporting actress in "The Reader."

Winslet became the third person to win two acting awards in the same year.

Other winners included Mickey Rourke, who took best actor in a drama for "The Wrestler," which also won best song for Bruce Springsteen, and the late Heath Ledger, who won best supporting actor for his final role, the villain in "The Dark Knight."

"All of us who worked with Heath accept this with an awful mixture of sadness but incredible pride," director Christopher Nolan said in accepting Ledger's award.

As is often the case, the presenters and winners were as interesting as the awards themselves. Ricky Gervais, who was holding a beer, had a funny turn at the microphone. The Jonas Brothers introduced the best animated feature "Wall-E" and "30 Rock" creator Tina Fey got the best line of the night when she said:

"I've always loved the Hollywood foreign press. As a kid, I had all the Hollywood foreign press action figures. Thank you Will Arnett for that joke."
