An interesting choice. Awards Tallies (4) Barbie, Oppenheimer (3) Poor Things (2) Godzilla Minus One (1) The Creator, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, The Holdovers, Spider-Man: Across…

21st Iowa Critics Awards
I have a few TBDs listed here, but I’m not so sure they will be announced. Two sources confirm the non-TBD selections, so it’s likely they won’t ever be announced. Having said that, The Holdovers clearly had a good run with this tiny group. Award Tallies (4) The Holdovers (2) Oppenheimer (1) Barbie, Killers of…

They also didn’t just toss it one award, giving it one shy of Oppenheimer‘s leading total. Award Tallies (5) Oppenheimer (4) Barbie (3) Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2) Ferrari, Past Lives, Poor Things (1) 80 for…

40th Casting Society Nominations

Casting is a category recognized at BAFTA but not the Oscars, which is surprising. It seems like a natural fit for the Academy. The Nominations Best Feature Big Budget Drama Casting The Color Purple…

35th Producers Guild Nominations
These could very well be our Best Picture nominees. They seem to be the most commonly cited, rewarded, and predicted. The Animated Feature category, however, is unlikely to replicate with The Super Mario Bros. Movie the most likely to get left off. This likely means the end of the road for Air, The Color Purple,…

Predictions: Critics Choice Awards
It’s time for the Critics Choice Awards. Who will win? Will they be the Oscar frontrunners or ephemeral critics’ picks? Bet on the former, but hope for the latter.
