Season of sunshine, in the winter

The award season is on, and nothing is more exciting at the moment. While I've seen movies that are in contention, like V for Vendetta, The World's Fastest Indian (I'm not sure if it's this season or not) and even Children of Men a couple of nights ago, the season really starts for me in a couple of hours, when I watch the movie I have been waiting for the most: Little Miss Sunshine. I am very excited to see the movie, and especially Steve Carell and young Abigail Breslin.

The next movie I am very much waiting for is The Last King of Scotland. I got to know who Forest Whitaker is in the 5th season of The Shield, where he was breathtaking. It's exciting that he is on track to getting much praise for his role as Idi Amin. James McAvoy is probably in the running as well as the director of the movie.

Of course there are many more movies, including Bobby with an entire cast of stars, The Queen starring Helen Mirren in what seems to be an Oscar winning role, Gambit with Ben Kingsley, Flags of our Fathers, The Departed - Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jack Nickolsen in particular, Copying Beethoven - Ed Harris and Running with Scissors which is widely anticipated.
