Tonight, I started working on one of my most favorite columns I write each year – The Brians. Basically, this is my take on the Oscars, but only movies I saw in the theater are eligible. I relaxed the rules one year because we hardly ever got out to the cinema, but that was it.

This will mark the ninth year of these awards. Go here to check out the history of The Brians. This year, I will choose from 10 movies:

• The Other Guys
• A Team
• Toy Story 3
• Date Night
• Valentine’s Day
• Hot Tub Time Machine
• Alice in Wonderland
• Diary of a Wimpy Kid
• Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakuel
• Despicable Me

The main categories remain the same, Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Actor and Actress, The Bridget (for movies aimed at kids) and Best Movie. These awards will appear in my regular column in The Evening Sun next Tuesday (March 1). I will post the column online here that morning. The day before, I will post a column of secondary awards, which are the most fun to pick to tell the truth.

So get ready for the fun.
