28th Florida Critics Nominations & Awards
Florida’s film critics have tried very hard to do some unique things. Their list strikes me as trying too hard. They avoided some baity films but their back-ups were unusual and not in an intriguing way. This is perhaps one of their most alarmingly batty lists. Award Tallies (3) The Beast (2) Dune: Part Two

6th Society of Composers & Lyricists Nominations
The Society of Composers & Lyricists is a newer group and their influence on Oscar nominations are difficult to assess. With two TV nominees and one non-shortlisted title among their 12 total song nominations, it’s hard to assess how this might impact the result. Most of the Original Score contenders made it through as well,

9th New Mexico Critics Awards
New Mexico’s Critics are one of the hardest groups to find most years. They do very little self-advertising and their website hasn’t been updated since 2018. That they went predominantly for Anora isn’t much of a surprise but they did like Wicked a lot more than other groups, so there is something new to see

14th Black Critics Awards
This is a result that seems more in line with what we would expect. Their top award winner also won the most prizes. For the most part, their selections are about as expected. Award Tallies (4) Sing Sing (3) Nickel Boys (1) All We Imagine as Light, The Brutalist, Daughters, Gladiator II, Malcolm Washington, The

29th Satellite Awards Nominations
If you miss the way the Golden Globes used to fawn over the least worthy options, look no further than the International Foreign Press Academy and their list that includes such headscratchers as Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, The Bloody Hundredth, Cabrini, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom, The Wait, and Young Woman and the

45th London Critics Nominations
London’s critics have a different release window to worry about and thus titles like La Chimera show up when they might be eligible for Oscar. That said, this list looks more “high brow” than most other lists, which is par for the course with this group with them ignoring seemingly more “American” efforts like Dune:

Oscar Profile: Oscar Loves Christmas
While no film with Christmas as its main theme has ever won a Best Picture Oscar, one film in which the holiday is prominently featured did win the big prize. That was 1960’s bittersweet comedy, The Apartment, which takes place primarily from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve. Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine and Jack Kruschen

9th Seattle Critics Awards
Seattle loved Anora and, surprisingly, Furiosa, a film that has been forgotten by most other groups and was missing from most expected shortlists. Yet again, The Substance took the top prize but lost the tally race to two other films. Strange. Award Tallies (4) Anora (3) Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2) Sing Sing, The
