As actors start picking their dresses and preparing their acceptance speeches, watch Ed Cumming's guide to the film awards season.
It's January, which means for actors it's awards season, and for the Hollywood great and good it is a chance to gusset up and practice their loser faces, according to The Telegraph's Ed Cumming.
On Sunday, there is the Golden Globes, which is a "practice Oscars" where actors prepare their reactions "before they lose out to 'the film that wins all the Oscars'".
Then between the Golden Globes and the Oscars are the Baftas, which "British people have to pretend are important because they are British prizes."
And finally, there are the Oscars and by the time they come around, it has usually "already been decided which is the 'film that wins all the prizes'".
