Eligible Films for 97th Oscars
Interesting that despite recent branding, they are calling them the “Academy Awards” still in the press release. That’s neither here nor there. What’s interesting is which of the 323 films didn’t meet Best Picture eligibility requirements. All of this year’s Best Picture contenders are there, so there’s no concern of anything major missing out. 323

Box Office History (Week 1, 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

82nd Golden Globe Awards
It was a big day for films from foreign nations. Emilia Pérez, Flow, and I’m Still Here won big prizes while The Brutalist led the English-language fare. There were no huge surprises, though we all thought things might go differently on the comedy side. This definitely indicates a changed Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The influx

13th Georgia Critics Nominations
A pretty even spread of nominations with the top 8 vote-getters within 3 nominations of each other.
