Oscar 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).

Oscar Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 8
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: 24th Cinema Audio Society Nominations (2016)
The Cinema Audio Society has selected its nominees for Best Sound Mixing in three categories, one for documentaries, one for animated films, and one for live-action films. That latter is the one that has the cross-over with the Oscars, so it’s the one we’re most interested in. The only major omission I see here is…

Precursor: 74th Golden Globe Awards (2016)
A clean sweep greeted La La Land from the Golden Globe Awards, a staggering 7 awards for the evening. The biggest shock of the night came with Aaron Taylor-Johnson won Best Supporting Actor for Nocturnal Animals. Otherwise, the awards went largely as expect.

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: 20th Online Critics Awards (2016)
Moonlight was the big winner with the Online Film Critics. Their selections follow the existing trends and do nothing to start new ones. Their early releases the last few years did more to position them as a trend-maker rather than a trend-follower. Now, they are back to being forgotten against the backdrop of the guild…

Precursor: 5th North Carolina Critics Nominations (2016)
A four-way tie for most nominations marks the North Carolina Film Critics slate for 2016. Most of the selections have been referenced by other groups previously, so there isn’t much that’s newsworthy in this grouping. Nominations Tallies (6) Hell or High Water, La La Land, Manchester by the Sea, Moonlight (4) Arrival, The Handmaiden (3)…
