Are you a film buff? Do you like independent films? Or do you just like keeping up with film awards in general?

If you answer to any of these questions is Yes, then this is your time of year!

The Golden Globe Awards were held on January 10, followed by announcement of the Academy Award nominees on January 18. Though the Oscar ceremony will not be held until February 28th, the Screen Actors Guild Awards will be broadcast on January 30th.
