Is it almost over?
You know -- the dreaded awards season. With the SAG (Screen Actors' Guild) Awards upon us Sunday and the Golden Globes and People's Choice Awards a mere memory now, you can regard this as hump week for the seemingly endless red carpet madness and the overdressed parade of winners and losers upon it.

You can cut loose at the Independent Spirit Awards on Feb. 23, if you insist. Also on that date, of course, are the Razzie Awards. Enough said.
