Today's announcement of the Golden Globe nominees signals the beginning of awards season - a magical time of year when film trailers list all their actors' previous accolades and trade magazines have a 'For Your Consideration...' advert on every other page. It all ends in the pinnacle of the movie calendar, the Academy Awards.

To burst Hollywood's smug-bubble, satirical news website The Onion has uploaded a fake news report on the Oscar race. In their typically perfectly observed style, the news team discuss Tom Hanks trapping Robert Redford in his basement and Sandra Bullock holding Meryl Streep in a "disorientating hall of mirrors, along with six deadly King Cobras." (The punch line to the Cobra joke is blink-and-you'll-miss-it fantastic).

Enjoy the straight-faced tomfoolery below...
