With a new year just beginning, remembering the past year in movies will be just a click away with awards shows dotting the calendar all spring.
The Golden Globe Awards took place on Jan. 15. The awards are presented by The Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
The popular "Grey's Anatomy" received "Best Television Series as a Drama." Though Leonardo DiCaprio received two nominations for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture for a Drama," the award went to Forest Whitaker for The Last King of Scotland . Critically acclaimed Dreamgirls swept the category of "Best Motion Picture for a Musical or Comedy," and Meryl Streep received "Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture" for her work in The Devil Wears Prada.

Almost bigger than the awards themselves is the effort put in by celebrities to look their best. Surfacing the next morning and continuing to be a hit nearly a week after, Web sites like E! Online host polls which allow a viewer to vote "Glam" or "Sham" on stars' look for the evening.
E! Online comments on Angelina Jolie looking "statuesque" in her strapless gown made by St. John couture while praising Eva Longoria in her navy Emanuel Ungaro gown.
Many students on campus admit to only being interested in the fashion aspect of the award shows.
"My favorite part about awards season is watching the after-shows like 'Entertainment Tonight' with the Best and Worst Dressed List," said Kelsey Sigman, a freshman Business Management major.
"I love to see the fashion statements made. I love to watch the stars go down the red carpet and watch what they wear," said Amber Thornton, a senior Social Work major.
If you missed out on the Golden Globes, there are still plenty more awards shows to come that will be honoring last year's films and music.
The upcoming 49th Annual Grammy Awards will be held on Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. CST and will be hosted by Stephen Colbert. The show will take place in Los Angeles and will honor contemporary musical talent. Justin Timberlake, Carrie Underwood, Christina Aguilera, Ludacris and Mary J. Blige are all scheduled to perform at the ceremony, according to the Grammy Organization's Web site.
The 2007 nomination nods were led by the Red Hot Chili Peppers with six nominations. Following closely behind, the Dixie Chicks, James Blunt, John Mayer, Danger Mouse, Prince, Rick Rubin, will.i.am and John Williams all received five nominations.
Nominees for "Record of the Year" are Taking the Long Way by the Dixie Chicks, St. Elsewhere by Gnarls Barkley, Continuum by John Mayer, Stadium Arcadium by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and FutureSex/LoveSounds by Justin Timberlake.
The 79th Annual Academy Awards will be taking place on Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. CST.
The nominees for the Academy Awards will be announced on Jan. 23 at 4:30 p.m. CST, according to the Academy's Website.
