8th Online Female Critics Awards
The Substance was the easy winner of most awards with this group but a tie in Best Picture led to co-best-of status with Anora, which took a total of 2 awards to Substance‘s 6.

5th Make-Up Artists Guild Nominations
Another early announcer I missed and this one makes an interesting case of what the guild likes that the Academy’s members didn’t. The Apprentice, Dune: Part Two, and Waltzing with Brando didn’t make the cut with the guild while top nominees The Deliverance and The Substance were skunked by the Academy. Nominations Tallies (3) Beetlejuice…
