Producer, director and two-time Academy Award winning actress Jodie Foster is set to receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement at the Golden Globes this Sunday, and it could not be more well deserved. While Foster’s visceral turns in Taxi Driver, The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs are reason enough to adore the former child star who attended Yale, and who is likely a lesbian, we thought we’d honor her with the reasons we love her.

We round up the best lesbian movies of ’09 — from dramas and documentaries to comedies even a horror film. Films like Whip It with Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page, Jennifer's Body with Megan Fox, Ameliawith Hilary Swank, And Then Came Lola with Cathy DeBuono and Jill Bennett, Precious, and Hannah Free with Sharon Gless, are among those on our list of the best lesbian movies this year.

Gillian Anderson, Summer Glau, Jessica Alba, Camryn Manheim, lesbian faves Drew Barrymore, and Olivia Wilde lead this installment of the Hollywood Trade Roundup, a collection of hotties making headlines in The Hollywood Reporter and Daily Variety.
