Oscars open with triumph

| Stars and the elite of the film world are gathering for the biggest night of the movie-going year: The Oscars. | |
Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Meryl Streep are among those who will grace the red carpet at Hollywood's Kodak Theater. Britain's Slumdog Millionaire is widely expected to repeat its success at the Baftas, where it was named best film. Other titles in the running for the main prize include The Reader, Milk, Frost / Nixon and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The latter film, which stars Brad Pitt as a man who ages backwards, has had the most box office success - taking $242m (£169m) worldwide - but Academy voters will not necessarily see this as a reason to win. Slumdog Millionaire, a rags-to-riches story set in the slums of Mumbai, has been named best film by the producers', writers', actors' and directors' guilds in the US. Members of each of those awards bodies also vote for the Oscars. The best actor race appears to be a two-way battle between Sean Penn, who plays real-life politician and gay rights activist Harvey Milk, and Mickey Rourke, for his turn as a faded athlete in The Wrestler. | |
