...named best comedy, ahead of Happy-Go-Lucky and Mamma Mia! WALL-E won for animated feature, while the animated feature Waltz With Bashir was the best foreign language film. (Can't explain; too complicated.) The award for best actor in a drama went to Mickey Rourke for The Wrestler. Kate Winslet snagged both the dramatic actress prize for Revolutionary Road and the supporting actress trophy for The Reader.
