  • Precursor: 80th Golden Globe Awards (2022)

    The winners have been announced. Outside of a surprise showing for The Fabelmans, Angela Bassett, and Argentina, 1985, the awards went about as expected. The Banshees of Inisherin topped Everything Everywhere All at Once, which could be a sign of things to come. Awards Tallies (3) The Banshees of Inisherin (2) Everything Everywhere All at…

  • Precursor: 30th Cinema Audio Society Nominations (2022)

  • Precursor: 7th Chicago Independent Critics Nominations (2022)

  • Precursor: 27th Art Directors Guild Nominations (2022)

    This is a solid list of selections and almost everything we expected to be major Oscar contenders are here, though The Woman King and The Northman are hurt most by this and RRR is once again the foreign film that the guilds don’t seem to be warming up to. Instead it’s All Quiet on the…

  • 95th Oscars Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 6

    As the precursor awards continue unabated until Oscar night, I’m going to be providing a weekly update highlighting the films that have won and lost momentum through the precursor awards (and in some cases other outside influences).

  • Precursor: 70th Sound Editors Guild Nominations (2022)

    Although they no longer have a corresponding Oscar category, they can give us insight into the thinking of voters in the sound branch. Of special note here is that RRR, which has been getting a lot of attention for its sound design, is absent here, but All Quiet on the Western Front did make it…

  • Precursor: 57th National Society of Film Critics Awards (2022)
