As a continuing feature here at Awards Circuit, here are the latest ratings provided by the MPAA Ratings Board – The Classification and Ratings Administration (CARA).

In this edition, dated 10/5/11, Oscar hopeful “Albert Nobbs” will require an accompanying parent or adult for those under 17, an 80′s remake adds a “13″ to its original “PG”, Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams see their “Vow” categorized, and Lionsgate looks to appeal the rating assigned to its first theatrical release of 2012, “The Possession” (formerly known as “Dibbuk Box”).  Plus, we encounter our first ever graphic sexual illustration (!?!)
