If you have been perusing any of the millions of movie review websites and blogs out there, you have surely seen an end-of-the-year "Top Ten" list or two. Well, here at Crooked Shoes, I'm not just doing a list of my ten favorite movies of the year...oh no, I'm doing a whole awards show...well, awards posting...let's just call it an "awards shindig." I'm going all out for this because I really, really, really enjoy honoring the very best of cinema every year, while hopefully reminding you of a few forgotten gems in the process. The only problem is that, because I have no access to advanced screenings or screener copies (and because I live in Hole-in-the-Wall, Nowhere...which, by the way, isn't close to any of the however many thousands of theaters showing Black Swan right now), there is simply no way for me to compile a complete list of the year's best by the beginning of 2011, when I haven't been able to see so many of the awards favorites. So, I haven't exactly set a date for when I will be announcing the winners of the highly-coveted and oh-so-pretty (read: completely nonexistent) Crooked Shoe Awards, but rest assured, it should be sometime around Oscar night, if not a few weeks after. While you wait, I'm still going to be reviewing movies (A whole new year of movies is about to begin!), talking about dance (lots of goodies to come), and sharing my opinion right here at Crooked Shoes. Also, just so you know what to expect, I have included below a list of the eight categories my awards shindig will be covering (as well as descriptions of some). Check it out!
