    4th UK Critics Nominations

    Their release window being different than the U.S., that explains the presence of two 2025 films and one that hasn’t been released stateside yet. The rest are pretty well expected nominees with the first showing for Kaouther Ben Hania and The Voice of Hind Rajab (at least recently). Nominations Tallies (7) One Battle After Another…

  • 10th Hawaii Critics Nominations

    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)…

  • 31st Critics Choice Awards

    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

    A few off-the-wall choices, including support for Springsteen and Wake Up Dead Man, but they are otherwise pretty average.
