90th New York Critics Awards
New York’s Film Critics have an uneven record with Oscar. Many of their selections get nominations but few of them actually win. This is good news for The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, Hard Truths, and A Real Pain. Carol Kane seems like the kind of NYFCC pick that goes nowhere but stranger things have happened for…

9th Critics Choice Doc Awards
It’s been clear for a bit now that Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is going to do quite well this awards season. The love the Critics Choice documentary committee has for the film is certain.

37th European Film Awards Nominations
With a new rule this year that the documentary and animated feature nominees are also Best Picture nominees, that slate is rather lengthy. It also means that there are a lot more 2-nomination films than typically. Good news for a few major Oscar contenders, Emilia Pérez, The Room Next Door, Ralph Fiennes, and Daniel Craig.…

34th Gotham Awards Nominations
The latest awards have been announced and their way of nominating is a bit bizarre. People who vote in the acting categories don’t vote in picture and vice versa. Thus the absence of The Brutalist or The Piano Lesson in Best Picture is no indication that the films in Best Picture are thought to be…

9th Critics Choice Doc Nominations
The first precursors of the year are often the least impactful. The Critics Choice Association generally picks the most popular documentaries, which is not how the Academy typically operates. That said, it’s a good hint at what could be players at the Oscars. Below are the nominations. Winners will be announced on November 10, 2024.…
