Weekly - 17 January 2007

Hello ***

OK, I admit it - I'm a sucker for movie awards nights (are you?). I gasp at the Golden Globes and analyse the Academy Awards. I love the movies - and the frocks - and try and see as many of the nominated films as I can. Make sure you do too!

Cheers,
Lisa

Golden Globe winners
The glitz and glamour of the 2007 Golden Globe Awards might not be the same without token goodie bags - the tax man considered them a liability this year - but the winners have taken home a gold trophy that is nothing short of priceless.

Dreamgirls *rated 10/10*
(M) 130 mins
