Nine Movies That Managed To Win Oscars From A Teeny Tiny Budget

Budget: $14,000,000
Working on a tight budget, Slumdog Millionaire truly resonated with moviegoers all over the world, and with critics to boot. The rags to riches story of an orphan in Mumbai, left to fend for himself with nothing but his wits, created a breathless spectacle – one that was rewarded at the 2009 Academy Awards. In fact, it practically swept the Awards night, with 11 nomination, and eight victories, which were as follows: Best Director, Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, Best Original Song, and Best Sound Mixing.
