82nd Golden Globe Awards
It was a big day for films from foreign nations. Emilia Pérez, Flow, and I’m Still Here won big prizes while The Brutalist led the English-language fare. There were no huge surprises, though we all thought things might go differently on the comedy side. This definitely indicates a changed Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The influx…

3rd UK Critics Nominations
UK critics don’t nominate in all the standard categories and they certainly don’t follow American release windows. That’s why you see a few 2023 Oscar contenders on the list (The Zone of Truth, The Iron Claw, and The Holdovers. The rest are 2024 contenders and while they definitely aren’t following the herd, it’s clear they…
