It was a dead heat between the stars of 2006's The Devil Wears Prada as Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married) and Meryl Streep (Doubt) tied for Best Actress honors at the 14th-annual Critics' Choice Awards in Santa Monica, Calif., last night.

Heath Ledger posthumously won the Best Supporting Actor award for The Dark Knight. Sean Penn took the Best Actor trophy for his performance in Milk, and Kate Winslet won Best Supporting Actress for her role as a former Nazi concentration-camp guard in The Reader.

But the biggest winner was Slumdog Millionaire, which won awards for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Writer and Best Composer. Its star, Dev Patel, also was voted Best Young Actor.
