...nearly six weeks till Oscar Night, but in three major categories, maybe four, the race is all but officially over. Last night's Golden Globe ceremony certified what earlier critics' prizes have indicated: that Forest Whitaker in The Last King of Scotland will win Best Actor, Helen Mirren in The Queen will take Best Actress and Dreamgirls' Jennifer Hudson is a dead cert for Best Supporting Actress...
...happens that I've been on the awards circuit lately, not as a recipient, thank you, but as a voting member of the New York Film Critics Circle and a presenter of a National Board of Review scroll.

Towering over the area now is a 16,000-ton water-injection platform being built by BP, which will be towed to an oil field 75 miles...
