Just as Craig spoke about a few days ago, the movie Awards Season is officially upon us. And as usual, the Big Three got kicked off last night with the 73rd annual Golden Globes Awards (the other two being the BAFTAs and Oscars, of course). The event was held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverley Hills, California and saw British …
NOTE: This is an opinion piece and does not necessarily reflect the views of the rest of the writers at TheMovies.co.za.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s career is certainly in no need of relaunching. He’s been hovering up in the stratosphere for some time now on the backs …
