8th New Mexico Critics Awards
I have no idea when these were announced. Their website and X-Twitter account have been silent for a very long time. These were found on IMDb. Award Tallies (4) Killers of the Flower Moon (3) Past Lives (2) Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie (1) The Boy and the Heron, A Haunting in Venice, The Holdovers,…

64th British Academy Nominations
Oppenheimer and Poor Things had very good days. As did The Zone of Interest. Barbie and Past Lives had poor showings. Is this a peculiarity of the British nomination process? Possibly. It’s hard to know for sure. All of Us Strangers had a mix of results. Two or three positive citations with a couple of…

37th USC Scripter Nominations
The only major precursor outside of BAFTA left for Adapted Screenplay is the USC Scripter, which typically awards the screenwriter and the source material. This is great news for Origin, which seems to have been forgotten by most groups this year. The others were largely expected. What missed out? All of Strangers and Are You…

27th Online Critics Nominations
The OFCS seemed to like just about everything everyone else had, though there are quite a few notably exceptions. Maestro was completely shut out while American Fiction didn’t get a Best Picture citation. Nominations Tallies (12) Oppenheimer (11) Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things (9) Barbie (5) Anatomy of a Fall, Past Lives (4)…

22nd Visual Effects Society Nominations
The Creator, Elemental, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse were the most cited films this year, which is good news for the three of those who were on the Academy’s shortlist (Elemental wasn’t on it). Two shortlisters didn’t even make the list, Poor Things and Rebel Moon – Part One:…

71st Sound Editors Guild Nominations
Oppenheimer might have come out on top of the nominations, but it did so with only three whereas six other films came in with two citations each. Of the ten films on the Academy’s shortlist, The Creator and Mission: Impossible are the only titles not here. Barbie, Maestro, Napoloeon, and Oppenheimer were the only titles…

21st African American Critics Awards
African American Critics split their love between three films this year, giving out separate prizes for drama, comedy, and musical. They haven’t done this in the past. It’s an interesting change, but it also shows in their selections that those three films were also their general favorites as well, giving everything else only a single…

29th Critics Choice Awards
Neck-and-neck all night, Barbie and Oppenheimer were both potential winners, but with that Best Comedy category, too many voters probably voted Barbie there and if it had not, it might have won. While most of the winners were expected, Emma Stone and Paul Giamatti shook up the narrative and it will be an interesting road…

14th Denver Film Critics Nominations & Awards
Denver’s critics are the first to go almost all-in on Barbie. Few other groups are going for something so mainstream, preferring the popular, but traditional Oppenheimer instead. 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…
