The Bhuray's: A Special Citation

This is an honourary award that I'm going to give in my awards from now on to a performance that I felt went extremely unnoticed from the year, and I didn't have to space to give it recognition in the categories. The first one goes to a performer who has been aces in everything she has acted in, but has never gotten the notices for it. That performer is...

Rosario Dawson as Maya in...

Descent, directed by Talia Lugacy

I did think that Rosario Dawson's best performance thus far had been in Rent, but after seeing Descent, this is clearly her best work. Dawson plays Maya, a student going through college. She meets a boy, Jared (played by the great Chad Faust), and rebuffs him at first. She takes a shine to him and they hit it off. They get to fooling around, and then the unthinkable happens. Maya's life is shattered and as she tries to piece her life back together, her need for vengeance grows and she turns to a person she meets at a club, Adrian (Marcus Patrick), for help.

This is a tough film to get through, but it's worth it. Rosario Dawson has never been better and it's disappointing that not a lot of people saw this movie or gave it the time it deserves. That is why Rosario Dawson is the recipient of this Special Citation.
