17th GALECA Awards

32nd Screen Actors Guild Awards

15th Nevada Critics Awards

15th Nevada Critics Nominations
These were incredibly hard to find and it’s from an individual member’s website rather than the formal Nevada Film Critics Society page, which has still not been updated. If I need to adjust these somewhere down the line, I will. Nominations Tallies (14) Sinners (11) One Battle After Another (10) Frankenstein (8) Marty Supreme, Train…

30th Art Directors Guild Awards
These largely went as expected with the Oscar nominees that could win winning. Frankenstein had a pretty clear shot before but now that seems even more certain. The Awards Best Animation Art Direction KPop Demon Hunters WL PP TL Best Period Art Direction Frankenstein WL PP TL Best Fantasy Art Direction The Fantastic Four: First…

37th Producers Guild Awards
The one place where the sheer box office strength of Sinners could have given it the edge instead goes the prevailing direction towards One Battle After Another. SAG could still create some doubt but not enough to stem the tide and with today’s news of military strikes on Iran, it picks up even more salience.…

42nd Casting Society Awards
Nothing terribly exciting here. Of the five Oscar nominees for Best Casting, only three were nominated from CSA and those were all competing against each other in the Big Budget Drama Casting category. There, Sinners won and that’s the most likely Oscar winner as well though One Battle After Another, its biggest competitor, was not…
