Contenders 24: Final Analysis
As I look over the results of the 2024 Contenders series, I’m struck by the sheer breadth of contenders that were offered up throughout the year.

98th Oscars Host & Producers Announced
In a highly unusual move, the host and producers have already been set for the 98th Oscars, just two days under a year from the next telecast. Whether they are hoping to maintain momentum or stave off concerns about the “success” of this year’s telecast is uncertain but this seems a bit too early to…

Box Office History (Week 11, 2025)
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…

64th American Cinema Editors Awards
A Very surprising set of winners, ones that might have thrown us off if they’d happened during Oscar season. However, I suspect that since the original awards were supposed to take place before the collapse of Emilia Pérez, that voting had already been concluded. That could explain why Emilia Pérez won. That said, I can’t…
