Slumdog Millionaire took another step toward convincing the Academy that it deserves a handful of Oscars with its win at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards on Sunday. Momentum has been building for the once unlikely award candidate since Slumdog Millionaire picked up the Golden Globe for best drama a couple weeks ago. Following the Golden Globe it has been nominated for 10 Academy Awards and received the best picture nod from the Producers Guild of America (PGA). Now we can add the SAG award for ensemble cast to Slumdog's growing resume.

Everyone involved with Slumdog appears be loving the attention so far this award season, and who can blame them? I would be willing to bet they would even be a little disappointed if they didn't bring home at least a couple 8.5 lb statuettes on February 22.
