    Don't forget the Golden Globes. And about a hundred others. Hollywood loves to hand out awards to themselves.

    The WGA, SAG, and DGA awards can be early indicators of how the Emmys and Oscars will go, if one follows this stuff.

    Just to show you the power these awards can really have, when I used to work as a film projectionist at the local mall theater, certain films would do almost no business. Those films would receive prestigious awards later in the year, and suddenly a print of one of those films would return to the theater. I would look at the metal canisters that contained the film and wonder "Didn't that film play here 6 months ago and quietly moved on?" Of course, it began to do huge business when it bagged awards.

    Yes, we are in the Age of Mediocrity: Lots of awards, self congratulations and back slapping for average work (at best) produced.
