Double awards win for Mamma Mia!

September 10th, 2008 Posted in World Showbiz News

Movie musical Mamma Mia! has triumphed at a prestigious awards ceremony in London by scooping two gongs.

The film version of the glitzy Abba stage show was voted best musical at the National Movie Awards on Monday night.

And Meryl Streep was awarded best female for her role as Donna Sheridan in the picture.

Johnny Depp was named best male for his performance in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Other winners at the ceremony include Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight, which was given the best superhero gong, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which won awards for best action and adventure film.

The best comedy gong went to Juno, while computer-animated sci-fi flick WALL-E was voted top family film.

The awards, held at London’s Royal Festival Hall, are voted for entirely by the public rather than industry bosses or film critics.
