Tis the season...awards season!

Awards season is upon us. The Golden Globes were announced yesterday and a slew of others will be coming in the next few months all leading up to gay Christmas, the Oscars. The hit of the Golden Globe is "Up in the Air" a dramatic comedy with George Clooney and director by the guy who did Juno.

Now, I am by no means a George Clooney fan. He comes off as a bit too smug for my liking, however he's great in this film. The female leads are fantastic and were also nominated. Anna Kendrick (from the underrated movie Camp) plays a fresh of of university overachiever. As the film progresses we get to see there's more to her than we initially thought. It's kind of a perfect movie...a simple story with flawed, funny and relatable characters.

The other big flick for Awards is Precious. It's been getting a TON of buzz. I think it's a good movie but not nearly as fantastic as Oprah and Tyler Perry would like us to believe. Plus I wanted to slit my wrists and after it was done. Mo'nique has a few amazing scenes but some moments in the film feel like a bad made for tv movie. Most surprising is that Mariah Carey can act! Her part isn't very flashy, but she does a respectable job and, dare I say it, shows some potential for being a working actress in the future.

Other notable movies that should be getting awards this winter are 500 Days of Summer, Julie and Julia (in a perfect world Meryl Streep would win an Oscar every year) and The Blind Side (will be seeing this tomorrow, we'll see if Sandra Bullock is deserving of the buzz she's been getting).

Any awards season faves?
