Oscar Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 5
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: 21st Satellite Awards (2016)
The Satellite Awards are among the most confusing and frustrating groups out there. I don’t know if their rules document mentioned half of what happened, but they announced their nominations a day early, then announced their winners two months before their awards ceremony. Further, they have decided to award two awards in Picture, Actor, and…

89th Oscars: Screener Watch: Dec. 19-25, 2016
The final shipment of 2016 (likely) features two Lionsgate titles. Hacksaw Ridge Oscar Chances: Good: Mel Gibson hasn’t made is apologia yet, but this film has been well received enough to give the Academy an opportunity to welcome him back into the fold. A Best Director nomination may not be in the cards, but Best…

Precursor: 12th Austin Critics Nominations (2016)
These were announced on Dec. 15, but did not come to me until today. Here are the nominees for the Austin Film Critics awards. The winners will be announced on Dec. 28.

Precursor: 20th Florida Critics Awards (2016)
Leave it to the Florida Film Critics to throw a zinger. The Lobster wins Best Picture fighting off all the major Oscar contenders. While they may have picked that one out of left field, the rest of their slate is as mainstream as you can get. Awards Tallies (4) La La Land (2) Elle, The…

The final shortlist the Academy has released this year features the films eligible for three nominations in the Best Makeup and Hairstyling category.
