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,…

31st Critics Choice Nominations

There are a few surprises here or there but mostly what we’ve been talking about so far this year. Nominations Tallies (17) Sinners (14) One Battle After Another (11) Frankenstein, Hamnet (8) Marty Supreme (7) F1,…

10th Critics Choice Doc Awards
The Perfect Stranger dominated these awards with only Ocean with David Attenborough and Orwell: 2+2=5 the only other films to pick up more than one prize. Will Perfect Stranger be the latest to be ignored by the Academy? We shall see. Nominations Tallies (5) The Perfect Neighbor (2) Ocean with David Attenborough, Orwell: 2+2=5 (1)…

10th Critics Choice Doc Nominations
Nothing much to see here since we don’t even know what the shortlist documentaries will be but you can usually look at the nominees for Best Documentary and see several of the eventual Oscar nominees.

30th Critics Choice Awards
What a weird batch of winners. Nothing with more than three awards, Best Picture taking only one. It was like they wanted to hand out an award to every film. The surprise of the night was Jon M. Chu winning Best Director when he wasn’t nominated at DGA or the Oscars. It was refreshing for…

30th Critics Choice Nominations
The top competitors of the year so far are also the top nominees with the Critics Choice. Conclave and Wicked clearly have piqued their interest while Emilia Pérez continues to perform strongly. A Real Pain didn’t do as well as some other precursors had suggested but otherwise, this list seems on target. Nominations Tallies (11)…

9th Critics Choice Doc Awards
It’s been clear for a bit now that Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is going to do quite well this awards season. The love the Critics Choice documentary committee has for the film is certain. It’s also the kind of documentary that the Academy has ignored even for a nomination in the past, so we’ll…

9th Critics Choice Doc Nominations
The first precursors of the year are often the least impactful. The Critics Choice Association generally picks the most popular documentaries, which is not how the Academy typically operates. That said, it’s a good hint at what could be players at the Oscars. Below are the nominations. Winners will be announced on November 10, 2024.…

8th Critics Choice Doc Awards
I don’t have a lot to say about these as they’ve been around for a bit now, but haven’t shown any predictive prescience. Still was obviously the big winner taking five prizes and that might bolster its chances at an Oscar nomination, but the Academy is often reticent to recognize biographical documentaries, though they’ve softened…

8th Critics Choice Doc Awards
The Critics Choice Association has announced their 8th annual documentary award nominations. The Documentary and Documentary Short awards are where the Oscar overlap will be. The only one of these titles that isn’t likely to carry over is Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie because of its Emmy submission/nominations. Beyond that, we’ll have to see…
