Awards season is here, and while members of the Academy are busy sipping Belvedere martinis and filling in their ballots, the most important honor has already been handed out. The Daily News informs us that Kevin James has received a lifetime achievement award from Redbox, the company that blocks supermarket entrances with massive DVD rental machines.

This is the first-ever Redbox lifetime achievement award, and it very well may be the last. Who can top Kevin James when it comes to a full lifetime of achievements? Redbox’s Gary Cohen tells the Daily News, “Kevin James is the guy next door, and Redbox fans have brought him home millions of times over.  Movies starring James include Zookeeper, Grown Ups, The Dilemma and Paul Blart: Mall Cop – making him a tried-and-true favorite who makes America laugh.”

He’s 100% right. Movies starring Kevin James do include Zookeeper, Grown Ups, The Dilemma, and Paul Blart: Mall Cop -- a roster of films capable of defining multiple lifetimes. While Redbox has only been around since 2002, their recognition of a lifetime of work shouldn’t be disputed. They’ve probably seen all the movies, you know, because they get free DVDs from Redbox.
