Precursor: 27th Online Film & Television Nominations (2022)
With four acting nominations and a slew of craft citations, Everything Everywhere All at Once was the dominant film at this year’s awards. Keep an eye out for third-place The Banshees of Inisherin. Last year’s third-place nomination finisher, The Power of the Dog, went on to win Best Picture. Nominations Tallies (20) Everything Everywhere All…

2022 Precursor Predictions: Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild
The leading guild for makeup artists and hairstylists is a poor indication of the Oscar competition, but interesting to look at nonetheless.

95th Oscars Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 10
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). Only three groups have announced this past week, making it a rather slow one in terms of precursors.…

Precursor: 65th Grammy Awards (2022)
Encanto was the big winner more than a year after its initial release. It’s an utterly irrelevant year for the Grammys related to this year’s Oscars. Awards Tallies (3) Encanto The Awards

Precursor: 43rd London Critics Awards (2022)
London’s critics have an affinity for anything that isn’t Everything Everywhere All at Once giving the bulk of its awards to Tár and The Banshees of Inisherin. Awards Tallies (4) The Banshees of Inisherin (3) Tár (2) Aftersun The Awards

Precursor: 62nd American Cinema Editors Nominations (2022)
That these came out after the Oscar nominations diminishes their importance. Had they come out before, we might have seen the strength of Triangle of Sadness and possibly considered Tár the editing contender that it was. But alas, we could not. The Nominations Best Drama Editing All Quiet on the Western Front Elvis Tár Top…

95th Oscars Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 9
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: 22nd AARP Movies for Grownups Nominations (2022)
Always a bit more populist than the critics groups, the AARP movie awards largely played it safe, though their selections of Judd Hirsch and Judith Ivey are a bit outside the norm this season. Awards Tallies (2) Elvis The Awards

Precursor: 75th Writers Guild Nominations (2022)
While these are interesting in hindsight, coming after the Oscar nominations, their impact is severely lessened…especially since we know that the Oscar nominees that aren’t here were excluded due to eligibility issues. The Nominations Best Original Screenplay Everything Everywhere All at Once The Fabelmans The Menu Nope Tár Best Adapted Screenplay Black Panther: Wakanda Forever…

95th Oscar Nominations
A couple of big surprises. The whisper campaign for Andrea Riseborough paid off, but at the expensive two Black actors (Viola Davis & Danielle Deadwyler). Top Gun: Maverick didn’t make it into Cinematography, one of its strongest chances at a win. Decision to Leave wasn’t nominated for Best International Feature. Beyond that, there were minor…

Precursor: 43rd Golden Raspberry Nominations (2022)
Andrew Dominik’s exposé of Marilyn Monroe was lambasted by critics for everything except Ana de Armas’ performance, which got an Oscar nomination. The Razzies have also roasted the film giving it plenty of citations (thankfully not for de Armas). It’s always fascinating when an Oscar nominee also shows up here, though a lot of their…
