82nd Golden Globe Nominations
The Globes seem to be going the same direction as the other two televised awards shows by going for 6 nominees in each category.

50th Los Angeles Critics Awards
This makes two of the old guard critics groups to go for Anora on the same day. This is the kind of result we would normally expect from critics groups but it’s also not a new trend being set. We’ll just have to see how some of the others (National Society of Film Critics and…

9th Seattle Critics Nominations
Seattle’s critics were primarily impressed with action films (Dune: Part Two and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga). They also liked some substantive stuff but the performance of Challengers is a bit surprising considering its release much earlier this year. They also seemed to love The Beast, which has been a non-entity this year so far.…
