23rd Utah Critics Nominations
Utah’s critics love The Brutalist as well as Conclave and Dune: Part Two plus Nosferatu and The Substance. Nothing genuinely earthshattering in the tallies, though the presence of Tuesday in the top category plus Best Actress is a bit of a surprise. Nominations Tallies (9) The Brutalist (6) Conclave, Dune: Part Two (5) Nosferatu, The

5th Make-Up Artists Guild Nominations
Another early announcer I missed and this one makes an interesting case of what the guild likes that the Academy’s members didn’t. The Apprentice, Dune: Part Two, and Waltzing with Brando didn’t make the cut with the guild while top nominees The Deliverance and The Substance were skunked by the Academy. Nominations Tallies (3) Beetlejuice

52nd Annie Awards Nominations
The Annie Award nominations came out earlier this month when I wasn’t paying enough attention. The easy winner is The Wild Robot, though Inside Out 2 and Wallace & Gromit also did well. Not doing as well as it should have were Flow and Memoir of a Snail, which barely earned nominations, though they at

27th Costume Designers Guild Nominations
I’m quite surprised so many guilds are announcing so far in advance. I missed three important groups because of this but we’ve got them now, so looking over these, there are some surprises such as no Blitz or The Brutalist, both not benefiting from past pro-WWI history with the guilds. Most of my expected nominees

8th Online Female Critics Nominations
The online female film critics have spoken and it’s a surprisingly male-centric set of nominees. Many of the women-oriented films (other than The Substance and Anora) were largely ignored. Most of their selections are familiar, so it largely lacks a clear voice. Nominations Tallies (9) Conclave, The Substance (7) Anora (5) The Brutalist, Dune: Part
