You have to wonder who votes for these awards because the selections are all over the place and while some make sense, some don’t. Award Tallies (2) Killers of the Flower Moon, Nyad (1) Barbie, The Color Purple, The Holdovers, Maestro, Oppenheimer, Rustin, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, The Zone of Interest The Awards…

I always find it interesting when the “best film of the year” doesn’t win corresponding awards for “best British/Irish film” or “best foreign language film” when also nominated. It makes it seem like it’s not the actual best film of the year but that others are better than it they just want to make a…

The Saturn Awards went pretty heavy for Avatar: The Way of Water with a smattering of love to Barbie and Oppenheimer among 2023’s releases. Award Tallies (4) Avatar: The Way of Water (3) Barbie, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Oppenheimer (2) (1) Blue Beetle, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Mission: Impossible –…

The OFTA didn’t seem to shy away from Barbie like the Academy did, nominating it in several key categories the Academy ignored. That, on top of all of its non-Oscar category citations, allowed Barbie to top the record Titanic set back in 1997 for most nominations, by two. They don’t count the poster/trailer categories, so…

The Grammy winners we care about are always announced prior to the show. Here are those winners with Barbie out front with two. It’s possible Barbie picks up more wins throughout the night since the film has several nominations not just in these four categories. Award Tallies (2) Barbie The Awards Best Song Written for…

Vancouver’s critics have also put together their annual Canadian nominations, which were announced on the same dame but took time to filter out. Nominations Tallies (6) BlackBerry, Seagrass (3) Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person, I Used to Be Funny, Seven Veils, To Kill a Tiger (1) Anything for Fame, The Burning Season, Close to…

The Latino Entertainment Journalists Association, which has allowed its website to lapse making it difficult to come across these, put Barbie barely on top over Oppenheimer thanks to its three song citations. Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon also did well with Society of the Snow performing well in limited release. Award Tallies…

KC’s film critics were big on Oppenheimer like most groups. And they seemed to rank Killers of the Flower Moon second in nearly every category. Award Tallies (6) Oppenheimer (2) Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers (1) 20 Days in Mariupol, All of Us Strangers, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret., Godzilla Minus One,…

It’s no surprise that The Color Purple dominated these nominations. The overperformance of Rustin and They Cloned Tyrone, however, was not expected. There are also several TV programs in the below list because some of the categories are for both TV and film. As such, the nominations tallies for those titles are not accurate of…

All of the Oscar nominees are here, so there isn’t much to say about the nominations.
