6th Society of Composers & Lyricists Nominations
The Society of Composers & Lyricists is a newer group and their influence on Oscar nominations are difficult to assess. With two TV nominees and one non-shortlisted title among their 12 total song nominations, it’s hard to assess how this might impact the result. Most of the Original Score contenders made it through as well,…

9th New Mexico Critics Awards
New Mexico’s Critics are one of the hardest groups to find most years. They do very little self-advertising and their website hasn’t been updated since 2018. That they went predominantly for Anora isn’t much of a surprise but they did like Wicked a lot more than other groups, so there is something new to see…

14th Black Critics Awards
This is a result that seems more in line with what we would expect. Their top award winner also won the most prizes. For the most part, their selections are about as expected. Award Tallies (4) Sing Sing (3) Nickel Boys (1) All We Imagine as Light, The Brutalist, Daughters, Gladiator II, Malcolm Washington, The…

29th Satellite Awards Nominations
If you miss the way the Golden Globes used to fawn over the least worthy options, look no further than the International Foreign Press Academy and their list that includes such headscratchers as Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, The Bloody Hundredth, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom, The Wait, and Young Woman and the Sea.…

45th London Critics Nominations
London’s critics have a different release window to worry about and thus titles like La Chimera show up when they might be eligible for Oscar. That said, this list looks more “high brow” than most other lists, which is par for the course with this group with them ignoring seemingly more “American” efforts like Dune:…

9th Seattle Critics Awards
Seattle loved Anora and, surprisingly, Furiosa, a film that has been forgotten by most other groups and was missing from most expected shortlists. Yet again, The Substance took the top prize but lost the tally race to two other films. Strange. Award Tallies (4) Anora (3) Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2) Sing Sing, The…

28th Las Vegas Critics Awards (2024)
Las Vegas went a new direction from a lot of groups with their Dune: Part Two love. And it wasn’t even close it seems. Awards Tallies (6) Dune: Part Two (2) The Brutalist, Conclave, Emilia Pérez, My Old Ass, Strange Darling, Wicked (1) Anora, Dìdi, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Gladiator II, Hans Zimmer, Nosferatu,…

22nd African American Critics Awards
Nickel Boys was a better film but The Piano Lesson was the better film? It’s always strange to see the Best Film winner take home a pittance of awards compared to two other films that didn’t win. Award Tallies (4) The Piano Lesson (3) Sing Sing (2) Nickel Boys, The Wild Robot (1) Dahomey, Daughters,…

32nd Dallas Area Critics Awards
Dallas film critics went with the flow and awarded Anora with its top award along with two other prizes. Nothing particularly new or exciting in this list other than to see how some candidates ranked overall. Award Tallies (3) Anora (2) The Brutalist, The Wild Robot (1) Conclave, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, The Seed…

33rd Southeastern Critics Awards
Anora came out on top while second-place finisher The Brutalist did equally well. Nothing too revolutionary here. Award Tallies (3) Anora, The Brutalist (2) Conclave (1) Challengers, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, Sugarcane, Wicked, The Wild Robot The Awards Best Film Anora The Brutalist Conclave Dune: Part Two Challengers Nickel Boys Sing Sing Wicked The…
