It was snubbed for much of the 2010-11 awards season, but this past weekend Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor’s New Orleans-shot romantic comedy “I Love You Phillip Morris” finally got a little love.

At a ceremony Sunday (April 11) in Los Angeles, the GLAAD Media Awards — handed out by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation — bestowed its award for outstanding limited-release film on the movie, a bawdy but heartfelt comedy about the true story of a Texas con man (Carrey) who will stop at nothing to be reunited with his former cellmate (McGregor).

The GLAAD awards are intended to “recognize and honor media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and the issues that affect their lives.” They also fund GLAAD’s work to “amplify stories of LGBT people and issues that build support for equality.”

In a format unique to GLAAD, the awards are handed out in three phases, during awards shows in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The San Francisco awards are the only ones that have yet to be handed out this year. They will take place May 14 and will include the awards for Outstanding Film – Wide Release, Outstanding Documentary and Outstanding Spanish-Language Music Artist.

At last, some promotional material for the US release of I Love You Phillip Morris! The red band trailer has just been released, and though it focuses on Jim Carrey’s role rather than Ewan’s, there’s still some great shots – enjoy! But please remember this is RED BANDED and therefore guaranteed to be quite explicit!

At last, I finally got my hands on a copy of the fantastic I Love You Phillip Morris and have made over 1,000 Blu-Ray captures of Ewan as the titular Phillip Morris! I absolutely love this film, and I hope that it will soon find a US distributor, as it’s easily one of Ewan’s best roles – plus he looks adorable to boot Enjoy!

The Jim Carrey-Ewan McGregor starrer “I Love You Phillip Morris” isn’t getting much love these days.

Dark comedy’s theatrical release has been pushed back from April 30 to July 30. Consolidated Pictures Group is distributing the film.

Despite its top star billing, “Phillip Morris” has been plagued with distribution distress since premiering at Sundance in 2009, largely because of the film’s challenging subject matter.

From “Bad Santa” scribes Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, “Phillip Morris” tells the story of a married con man (Carrey) who falls in love with his cellmate (McGregor). Pic is based on the life of con man/artist Steven Jay Russell.

“Phillip Morris” will open in a limited run, and begin expanding on Aug. 6.
