Anthony Dod Mantle won the Oscar for best cinematography for his work in the critically acclaimed film 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
From slums of Mumbai to a glitzy quiz show studio, Mantle handled his camera deftly, and brought forth the misery, pain, joy and celebration of the protagonists on screen in a manner that touched many hearts.
"I could thank thousand of people, which I can't... I really thank Academy for opening this door. I thank my wife, my mom-pa, my brother and sister, Danny (Boyle), and the people who helped me in the movie," Mantle said while receiving the award.
Shot in India on a modest budget of $14 million, 'Slumdog Millionaire' traces the life of a Mumbai orphan who overcomes poverty, betrayal, police torture and other hardships on his way to a reunion with his childhood love and success on India's version of 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'.
