3rd Michigan Critics Guild Nominations
Michigan’s critics aren’t terribly creative. Many of these selections are about as predictable as you can get. Nominations Tallies (12) One Battle After Another (10) Sinners (6) Hamnet (5) Frankenstein, Marty Supreme (3) Avatar: Fire and Ash, Wicked: For Good (2) Sorry, Baby, Train Dreams (1) The Accountant 2, Another Simple Favor, Arco, Ballerina, Bugonia,

31st Critics Choice Nominations
Sinners pulled out a surprisingly large number of nominations while One Battle After Another did quite well as well. There are a few surprises here or there but mostly what we’ve been talking about so far this year. Nominations Tallies (17) Sinners (14) One Battle After Another (11) Frankenstein, Hamnet (8) Marty Supreme (7) F1,

25th American Film Institute Top Ten
Jay Kelly is the only surprising inclusion in this list, especially since it seemed to have faded into obscurity since it’s release. Otherwise, mostly films we expected to see. Typically, the Academy’s list will include most of these but with that special award win, It Was Just an Accident will certainly be one of the

Oscar Profile: Meryl Streep Revisited
Born June 22, 1949 in Summit, New Jersey to Mary, a commercial artist, and William Streep, Jr., a pharmaceutical executive, Mary Louise (Meryl) Streep’s early performing ambitions tended toward opera. Raised in New Jersey, she received her BA cum laude from Vasser in 1971, and her MBA from Yale Drama School in 1975. Streep’s first

97th National Board of Review Awards
Another major win for One Battle After Another. If they can pick up the National Society of Film Critics and Los Angeles Film Critics awards, that might be the end of the race. One surprising omission is Hamnet, which didn’t get into the top “10” list at all. A bit shocking for the one film

41st Spirit Award Nominations
There was a time when the Spirit Awards were as far removed from the Oscar nominations as anything. In recent years, as the Academy has become more cognizant of indie work, that connection has merged. This year’s list is pretty far removed from the trend and reverts to its obscure selections bolstered by a handful

91st New York Critics Awards
The New York Film Critics Circle remains idiosyncratic, taking mainstream Hollywood and blending it with non-English winners. The Jafar Panahi win is likely the result of the recent conviction he was given in absentia. The rest seem pretty standard for this group with a few winners likely to carry over but most not. Awards Tallies

35th Gotham Awards
The Gotham Awards are usually idiosyncratic and these selections largely follow that trend with not-quite-indie One Battle After Another and Sinners pulling wins they wouldn’t have picked up in years past had they not removed their budgetary limitations for nominations. Though, you have to wonder when voting ended because the It Was Just an Accident
