    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 10/26/11, the long-expected NC-17 arrives for Oscar hopeful “Shame”,  we learn whether Meryl Streep’s Margaret Thatcher biopic will play to a wider set of eyes, the sequel to an Oscar winning Animated Feature dabbles with mild peril and the awesomely strange collaboration between Steven Soderbergh and former women’s MMA fighter, Gina Carano, would like to take a meeting.  All this, and more after the cut!

    About Michael Ward


    My love of film began at the age of 7 when my parents not only gave me a television, but HBO to boot. My first theatrical experience was "E.T." My first movie cry came with "Old Yeller". "The Usual Suspects" made me decide to make movies and film writing a priority in life, even knowing the twist beforehand. My passion for film, music, and pop culture in general can be isolated to my youth. My love for film took root in high school. Above all else, movies and art, in any form, exist to entertain and I remain much more interested in how art affects others, more than with myself. But I love the conversation and to have a chance to share my thoughts and be a part of the community here is a unique and enriching experience.

    1. Shame is the big rating news of the year, I think.
