Gawker has the news that the Golden Groundhog award will honor the best underground movie of 2005, chosen from among "genuinely outstanding films from the previous year that lacked the distribution and marketing support needed to propel them into the public consciousness." You vote at the website, then the winner will be revealed on Groundhog Day Feb. 2. Actually, it seems to be a vehicle to sell (or mock) William Shatner's DVD club.
