It's that time of year again when Hollywood celebrates its own with a series of awards shows to honor outstanding work in film, music and television. With a new ceremony practically every week, it can be tough to keep up. That's where we come in.

<strong>January 7, 2015: </strong>The only show in the bunch to let fans vote on the winners, like Julia Roberts, pictured here accepting the award for favorite motion picture actress in 2000. The first words out of her mouth? "I'm so glad I shaved my underarms!"

<strong>January 11, 2015: </strong>Although the Globes honor both television and film, this awards show is commonly thought to be a predictor for the Oscar race, and a good old time thanks to the free-flowing alcohol and more relaxed setting. Hosted again this year by <strong>Tina Fey </strong>and <strong>Amy Poehler</strong>, fans will watch <strong>"Birdman"</strong> and <strong>"Boyhood"</strong> duke it out for the most wins. Also expect some show-stealing moments similar to Angelina Jolie and brother James Haven's red carpet kiss in 2000.

<strong>January 15, 2015: </strong>The Broadcast Film Critics Association bestows awards on performances they deem most deserving. <strong>Michael Strahan</strong> hosts this year, where once again <strong>"Birdman"</strong> and <strong>"Boyhood" </strong>head the nominations. Though Sandra Bullock, shown here kissing Meryl Streep after she beat her for best actress in 2010, isn't nominated this year, we hope for another memorable moment like this.

<strong>January 25, 2015:</strong> Acting is the star at these peer-voted awards presented for outstanding work in film and television. <strong>Benedict Cumberbatch </strong>scored nods for his movie work in <strong>"The Imitation Game"</strong> and TV work in <strong>"Sherlock: His Last Vow."</strong> Watch for some breakout moments between the awards, such as in 2012 when the "Bridesmaids" cast introduced us all to their Scorsese drinking game.

<strong>February 8, 2015:</strong> Also known as "music's biggest night," the Grammys is the only music-based show in awards season. <strong>Beyonce, Taylor Swift</strong> and <strong>U2</strong> lead the nominations this year. Superstar Michael Jackson made history in 1984 for taking home the most awards -- eight out of 12 nominations -- for "Thriller."

<strong>February 8, 2015: </strong>The BAFTA awards honor films screened in British cinemas, regardless of the film's origin. it is one of the only ceremonies that does not take place in Hollywood. In 2013, Queen Elizabeth received an honorary award for her patronage of British film and TV, presented by Kenneth Branagh. BAFTA Chairman John Willis called her "<a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/online/oscars/2013/04/queen-elizabeth-bafta" target="_blank" target="_blank">the most memorable Bond girl yet."</a>

<strong>February 21, 2015:</strong> This show honors arts-driven films made on independent-level budgets. Surprise! "Birdman" and "Boyhood" lead the pack. In 2012, host Seth Rogen's jabs at Chris Brown were as memorable as the winners.

<strong>February 21, 2015: </strong>The night before the Oscars is busy in Los Angeles, first with the Independent Spirit Awards and then the Golden Raspberry Awards, better known as the Razzies. In a departure in tone from the rest of awards season, the Razzies honor the biggest bombs of the year. Nominations have yet to be announced, but according to <a href="http://www.vulture.com/2014/12/critics-poll-what-was-the-worst-movie-of-2014.html" target="_blank" target="_blank">New York mag</a>, it's not looking so good for "Transformers: Age of Extinction" and "A Million Ways to Die in the West." We hope they keep a positive attitude like Sandra Bullock did in 2009 when accepting two awards for her work with Bradley Cooper in "All About Steve" before she cleaned up at the Oscars for "The Blind Side" one day later.

<strong>February 22, 2015: </strong>The Big Kahuna. All awards roads lead here, followed by a legion of red carpet fashion photographers. This year's show will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, but we won't know who will be competing until the nominations are announced on January 15. If the other awards are any indication, it's a safe bet to say "Birdman," "Boyhood" will be ones to watch, along with "Selma" and "The Imitation Game." Whoever wins, we hope they give us a memorable acceptance speech like Roberto Benigni did in 1999 when he took home the Oscar for "Life is Beautiful."
