Online, February 28, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The movie awards season is over, but DiscDish.com recognized that some important award categories were overlooked. Determined to fix the oversight, the website has honored films with 17 new awards.

The "That's Not My Elbow" Award for most claustrophobic film of the year - Lebanon

The "Hair Apparent" Award for best beard in an independent film - Robert Duvall in Get Low

The "I Think I Know Where This Is Going" Award for the feature film title that best gives away the story line - Eat Pray Love

The full list, available on DiscDish.com, includes many more honors.

DiscDish.com's awards are part of a new column called Today's Special, in keeping with the website's movie diner theme. In Today's Special, the DiscDish.com editors dish on the latest in pop culture, with a DVD and Blu-ray spin.
