18th Women Journalists Nominations
In spite of its Best Film nomination, Wicked was shut out of several categories, including the female screenwriter one. That doesn’t quite pass the smell test but that’s their choice. Nominations Tallies (9) Conclave, Emilia Pérez (8) Anora, The Substance (7) The Brutalist (5) All We Imagine as Light (4) Inside Out 2, Nickel Boys,

Chicago’s critics have put some love behind some films and performances that really need the support, but they’ve also gone for some very stereotypical choices. Awards Tallies (4) Nickel Boys (2) The Brutalist, Challengers, A Real Pain (1) All We Imagine as Light, Flow, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Hard Truths, His Three Daughters, No

29th San Diego Critics Nominations & Awards
Every year, I seem to miss the announcement of their nominations and find them when I see their awards announced. Anyway, clear love for major Oscar contenders with extra special attention on Sing Sing. Wicked scored eight nominations but wasn’t in the Best Picture slate. Rather surprising. Nominations Tallies (12) Dune: Part Two (9) Conclave

30th Critics Choice Nominations
The top competitors of the year so far are also the top nominees with the Critics Choice. Conclave and Wicked clearly have piqued their interest while Emilia Pérez continues to perform strongly. A Real Pain didn’t do as well as some other precursors had suggested but otherwise, this list seems on target. Nominations Tallies (11)

64th American Cinema Editors Nominations
A very early preview of the Oscar contest with ACE coming out way in advance of others. If it hadn’t already been the end of the line for Gladiator II, this cinches it. Some major players that weren’t recognized: The Brutalist, Blitz, Juror #2, Nickel Boys, The Room Next Door, September 5, A Complete Unknown,
