Top Story: Slumdog Millionaire took home the editing (ACE) and cinematography (ASC) awards this weekend underscoring its frontrunner status ahead of next Sunday’s Oscars, Variety’s Awards Central reports.

In Other News: Nikke at DHD reports that the wretched Friday the 13th remake brought in $42.3 million this weekend domestically helping make this the best President’s Day weekend for the box office in history. It should come close to hitting the $50 million.
