Well, the ShoWest awards ceremony took place at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas on April 2, 2009. For those wondering what exactly ShoWest is (I'm not going to lie, I had no idea either), it's the official convention of the National Association of Theatre Owners... Anyway, after a couple of days of convention and seminars, they have an awards ceremony where they recognize the future of the film industry?!?!

Among the winners, and deservedly so, was the beautiful Rachel McAdams... SHE IS the future of this industry. She has long proven what a wonderful actress she is with movies like 'The Notebook' and even 'Wedding Crashers', not to mention she is set to star in a slew of movies being released later this year.! Now Rachel McAdams getting Female Star of the Year, I can believe!

Perhaps, I'm just being bitchy but here are some of the other winners...If this is what the film stars are being recognized for, then I fear the future of the industry...Zac Efron won Breakthrough Performer of the Year, Sienna Miller won Supporting Actress of the Year and all the girls from 'Sorority Row' won for Female Stars of Tomorrow???

I'm pretty sure you see where I m going with this... What the fuck? Margo Harshman, Leah Pipes, Rumer Willis, Brianna Evigan, Jaime Chung and Audrina Partridge... the Female Stars of Tomorrow? Based on their performance in' Sosority Row'? A movie about a bunch of sorority girls who kill one of their 'sisters' in a prank gone wrong, try to cover it up and then end up being followed by a serial killer?!?! What? Seriously? I'm at a loss for words!

One more winner of the night was Chris Pine (again, I had no idea who he was either) who apparently does o.k. as Captain Kirk in the new 'Star Trek' movie. Now I couldn't put my finger on it right away but there was something familiar about that suit... Where did I see it before... It took a little bit but then the all too familiar image of the star of Pee Wee's Playhouse came crashing into my head! All that's missing is the red bow-tie (and  of course the criminal charges, but that's besides the point)!
