The Academy Awards are tomorrow night. As we get closer, I'm catching up on movie awards from other organizations. A few weeks ago, the winners of the Black Reel Awards were announced. Night Catches Us dominated, while Tyler Perry's For Colored Girls only won 3 of the 10 nominations it received. It is a shame that neither film received a single Oscar nomination.
