8th Hollywood Creative Alliance Nominations
These were announced at the end of November and Thanksgiving kept me from reporting on them. With all the others announcing this week, it was time to get these put in place, not that they matter much. This organization has been facing controversy after controversy that makes what the Globes went through look like a

40th Spirit Award Nominations
Another bad showing for The Brutalist but also for September 5, which had been building buzz throughout the fall and now seems to be getting stumped even on friendly ground.

96th National Board of Review Awards
A surprising film for Best Picture. It won’t make Wicked a winner but it will put it into the Best Picture race. Interesting how The Brutalist didn’t make the cut but Juror #2 did. The NBR has a thing for Clint Eastwood, so that’s no surprise. Kieran Culkin is so far the only duplicate acting

90th New York Critics Awards
New York’s Film Critics have an uneven record with Oscar. Many of their selections get nominations but few of them actually win. This is good news for The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, Hard Truths, and A Real Pain. Carol Kane seems like the kind of NYFCC pick that goes nowhere but stranger things have happened for

Box Office History (Week 48, 2024)
Every week, we’ll take a look back at how Oscar-nominated films performed at the box office. Due to the lack of data prior to 1980, some of these early years may have minimal information. From the mid-1990s back to 1980, the data exists, but is sometimes spotty. Everything after that should be accurate. We’ll look
