39th Spirit Award Nominations
The Spirit Award nominations yielded few major surprise, though a few stand out: Julianne Moore didn’t make the supporting cut, nor did Lily Gladston (for The Unknown Country) make it in to lead. Paul Giamatti couldn’t get into the lead race in spite of The Holdovers doing well. That said, it didn’t make the Best…

1st Michigan Critics Guild Nominations (2023)
The Michigan Critics Guild is a new organization announcing winners this year. A very small group usually makes idiosyncratic choices, which could explain why Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, and Past Lives make Best Picture without a corresponding directing citation while Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese don’t get their films past the finish mark.…

89th New York Critics Awards (2023)
This is probably the most mainstream list this organization has put out with Killers and Oppenheimer doing well. The only left-field choice is Franz Rogowski for Best Actor, the only one of the three that isn’t likely to parlay the win into an Oscar campaign. Award Tallies (2) Killers of the Flower Moon, May December,…

33rd Gotham Awards (2023)
Not much of interest in these winners, but it sets Past Lives as one of the major players this year and suggests Anatomy of a Fall is also going to dominate critics awards while Lily Gladstone (for a different film) and Charles Melton could have stronger paths to nominations. Award Tallies (2) Anatomy of a…

14th Hollywood Music in Media Nominations & Awards (2023)
The Hollywood Music in Media Association is one of the few organizations devoted entirely to music in film. Trying to track down their nominations before the awards is sometimes difficult and they only give about two weeks from nominations announcements to awards, so I’m including both nominations and awards below. The awards were held last…
