Not letting the rainy weather put a damper on the evening, the stars were out in full force for the 2009 Orange British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Opera House in London on Sunday (February 8).

Among the big winners were top film "Slumdog Millionaire", along with individual awards going to Mickey Rourke, Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz and Heath Ledger.

Sports movies are usually not supposed be too realistic. We watch them for their sheer entertainment value - the motivational speeches, the buzzer beating shots, the underdog stories that defy all odds. And while some movies, such as Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler, about a down and out wrestler (Mickey Rourke) in search of one last comeback, handle sports with far greater nuance, they are definitely the exception to the rule.

Wearing a gorgeous Givenchy gown, Natalie Portman was a red carpet stunner at amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS 2008 benefit on Thursday (May 22).

Held at Le Moulin de Mougins during the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, Natalie watched Madonna talk about her new documentary, I Am Because We Are, which "concerns children orphaned by AIDS in Malawi."
