'Sexist Pig' Mel Gibson Sneaks Into Awards Race

The Mel Gibson comeback train barrels into 2011 today with word that the troubled actor/filmmaker has earned awards-body recognition. The catch: He's been given the "Sexist Pig Award" from the Alliance of Women Film Journalists, which also recognized more conventional kudos front-runners The Social Network, The Kids Are All Right (including Best Actress winner Annette Bening over Natalie Portman), The King's Speech and True Grit among its films of the year. Congrats to all! [AWFJ]
