10th Hawaii Critics Nominations
32 categories for such a small organization. Doesn’t seem necessary. They are also so small that their idiosyncrasies can secure nominations for otherwise ignored Seyfried in The Housemaid, though they largely stay with the current conventional wisdom in terms of nominations. Nominations Tallies (14) One Battle After Another, Sinners (10) Frankenstein (7) Sentimental Value (6)…

53rd Annie Awards Nominations
Until now, you might have thought the competition was between KPop Demon Hunters and Zootopia 2 but with the Annie Awards, the most nominations is key to winning and it looks like Elio showed up everywhere in a bit of a surprise move. Meanwhile, most of the main Oscar contenders for Animated Feature are here…

31st Critics Choice Awards
The awards have wrapped up and many of the frontrunners won and several that weren’t leading may have pulled forward. Still, one can’t help but wonder how much of this was wishful thinking on the critics’ parts rather than genuine opinion. With that many members, we have to assume the latter. Awards Tallies (4) Frankenstein,…

59th Kansas City Critics Nominations

59th National Society of Film Critics Awards
A unique way of tabulating votes leads to a fairly rote list of selections. This marks the fourth of the grandfather critics groups to pick One Battle After Another. That’s a pretty solid sign for its Oscar prospects. Awards Tallies (4) One Battle After Another (1) Blue Moon, Familiar Touch, It Was Just an Accident,…

6th Make-Up Artists Guild Nominations
No weird period/contemporary overlaps this time but there are a surprising 5 films that picked up all three crucial nominations for Oscar consideration. One of those five, Weapons, wasn’t on the Academy’s short list so you can probably take the four remaining and predict they are going to be the Oscar nominees. For the fifth…
