Predictions: USC Scripter
With the Writers Guild of America abdicating its position (ceremony after the Oscars) as a precursor (a poor one truth be told), our best precursor for Best Adapted Screenplay is now the USC Scripter prize. USC SCRIPTER AWARDS Best Adapted Screenplay American Fiction (Wesley, Peter, Thomas) Killers of the Flower Moon Oppenheimer (RU:Wesley, RU:Peter, RU:Thomas)…

Predictions: American Cinema Editors
The Best Film Editing award gets surprisingly little precursor action in spite of it being one of the most important aspects of a film’s success or failure. Thankfully, we have the American Cinema Editors to give us a hand. AMERICAN CINEMA EDITORS AWARDS Best Drama Editing Anatomy of a Fall (Peter, RU:Wesley, RU:Thomas) Killers of…

Predictions: American Society of Cinematographers

7th Hollywood Creative Alliance Awards
These flew well under the radar, which is the concern when groups separate out their creative arts awards. Not much to see here. Award Tallies (3) Barbie, Oppenheimer (1) John Wick: Chapter 4, Maestro, Poor Things, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse The Awards Best Score Oppenheimer Best Editing John Wick: Chapter 4 Best Cinematography Oppenheimer Best…

15th GALECA Awards
These winners will mostly come as a surprise to no one. If they are going to pick the same film for both Film of the Year (International, Documentary, etc.) and the LGBTQ version of the same category, having two categories is kind of pointless. Award Tallies (3) All of Us Strangers (2) Anatomy of a…

35th Producers Guild Awards
