Hello, Fandango fans! This week we are launching our Awards Watch movie guide, which will keep you updated throughout the Oscar, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award season. I'm particularly excited about the launch of my new original video series, The Frontrunners, where I will interview top award contenders and give my analysis and predictions for the season's biggest prizes.
