Website's new column celebrates films in unconventional categories
AUSTIN, TX, March 02, 2011 /Movies and Video PR News/ -- The movie awards season is over, but DiscDish.com recognized that some important award categories were overlooked. Determined to fix the oversight, the website has honored films with 17 new awards.
Among the categories are:
The "Going Commando" Award for best use of underwear as a strategic device in an action film — Angelina Jolie in "Salt"
The "I Need a Shower" Award for creepiest sex scenes involving a laboratory-produced creature in a science-fiction thriller — "Splice"
The "That's Not My Elbow" Award for most claustrophobic film of the year — "Lebanon"
The "Hair Apparent" Award for best beard in an independent film — Robert Duvall in "Get Low"
The "I Think I Know Where This Is Going" Award for the feature film title that best gives away the story line — "Eat Pray Love"
The full list, available on DiscDish.com, includes many more honors.
DiscDish.com's awards are part of a new column called "Today's Special," in keeping with the website's movie diner theme. In Today's Special, the DiscDish.com editors dish on the latest in pop culture, with a DVD and Blu-ray spin.
The column also features the newest addition to the DiscDish.com team, Chris Koseluk, a journalist who has written about the entertainment industry for numerous magazines and newspapers, including The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Premiere and The San Francisco Chronicle.
