And the winner is... Slumdog Millionaire!

Eight Oscars! For a low-budget film that had seemed doomed to go straight to DVD!

Whenever a successful film has a memorable title like this, newspapers go to town. Editors like to create puns by linking the latest movie or music hits with news stories that have nothing to do with them. A pun is the clever or funny use of a word that has more than one meaning, or of words that have different meanings but sound the same. Puns make eye-catching headlines.

When the former heads of banks — Lord Stevenson and Andy Hornby (both of HBOS), along with Sir Tom McKillop and Sir Fred Goodwin (of RBS) — appeared in front of a House of Commons committee (the Treasury select committee), The Sun came up with the brilliant headline "Scumbag Millionaires".

"Slumdog" is what is known as a portmanteau word, a blend of "slum" and "underdog", meaning a person who is thought to be in a weaker position than others and therefore unlikely to win a competition.

A "scumbag" is a very unpleasant person, but originally it meant a used condom! The Sun headline "Scumbag Millionaires" left no reader uncertain about their point of view!
