Wanna spend Sunday night with Kate and Charlize?

Count on the muscle of Condé Nast Media Group, the Producers Guild of America and the Entertainment Industry Foundation to pull together a fledgling awards show called "Movies Rock."

I know what you're thinking. ANOTHER awards show? Just what we need. More boring acceptance speeches, more fake surprised faces, more big expensive gowns, fancy tuxedos, and pointless after-parties.

But this one actually sounds like it could be fun. (Click HERE for information).

The two-hour event (Sunday, Dec 2 at the Kodak Theatre) celebrates "the synergy between music and movies" and pays tribute to some of music's most iconic film moments. And of course, given the organizers and the show's proximity to the big 2008 movie/music awards (Globes, Grammys and Oscars) there will be both award-winners and award-hungry presenters and performers.

Performing: Beyoncé, Carrie Underwood, Chris Brown, Sir Elton John, Eve, Fergie, Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, John Williams, Marc Anthony, Mary J. Blige, Nas, Nicole Sherzinger, Tony Bennett, Usher and will.i.am.

The presenter lineup looks good too: Billy Bob (where the heck has he been?) Thornton, Charlize ("I'd like a Best Actress Oscar for "Elah") Theron, Cuba (It's been a long downhill ride) Gooding Jr., Harrison (I've got another darn "Indiana Jones" to promote) Ford, Jenna (someone please give this cutie a film role) Fischer, Jennifer (May I have a globe nod for "El Cantante") Lopez, Kate ("Owen was so not my fault") Hudson, John C. Reilly, Josh Duhamel, Matthew Broderick, Danny DeVito, Quentin Tarantino, Rita Moreno and Shirley MacLaine.

If you miss it, the show airs on Friday, December 7 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on CBS.
