    36th Chicago Critics Nominations (2023)

    A fairly traditional group gives a fairly traditional list. There are a few unexpected names on this list, but nothing outside the realm of possibility.

    1st Michigan Critics Guild Awards (2023)

    Another example of a small group result, there are two ties on the list. Most of the choices seem conventional with Anatomy of a Fall‘s screenplay win the only surprising result.

    23rd American Film Institute Top Ten (2023)

    The most interesting thing to say about this list is that it feels a bit vanilla. Sure, these are all largely acclaimed films, but other than Spider-Man, there are no shocking inclusions.

    7th Hollywood Creative Alliance Nominations (2023)

    While Barbenheimer dominates, several promising performers appear on this list. A lot of names all show up that had been largely written off. They have far too many categories and their sorting on their website is inconsistent (though mostly frustrating). Award Tallies (15) Barbie (14) Oppenheimer (10) Killers of the Flower Moon, Spider-Man: Across the…

  • 95th National Board of Review Awards (2023)

    95th National Board of Review Awards (2023)

    The National Board of Review is one of the weaker Oscar predictors of the major players, but getting citations can still generate buzz for your performance. This certainly helps both Giamatti and Ruffalo while potential streaks seem to be building around Lily Gladstone in her seemingly successful gambit to switch to lead and around Da’Vine…
