Boston Movies, Award Season, Red Carpets!

Why are there no award shows highlighting the best award shows of the past year? Well while I get on top of that, you may have noticed that is actually award season! The Proposal actually fetched a People's Choice Award for favorite comedy of 2009. The flick was actually pitted against another Boston movie, Bride Wars in the same category. Bride Wars seemed to pop up on a number of Worst Movie of 2009 lists I saw floating around the net.

The next installment of awards on the schedule are the Golden Globes coming up this weekend. And though there are not really any Boston movies nominated, maybe Matt Damon can find some mantle space for new hardware. He is up for his comedic performance in The Informant and dramatic performance for Invictus, (as is co-star Morgan Freeman). The Departed's director Martin Scorcese will also be honored at the ceremony which will be hosted by Britain's own Ricky Gervais.

And if you Golden Globes just aren't enough, the award season will come to an unofficial end when the Oscars are handed out by the Acadamy March 7th. I'm sure the E! network will be in a tizzy for the next few Red Carpet weeks!
