Category: 91st Oscars (2018)

With this group, there are three categories to inspect for clues to the Oscar nominees. Of those three, most come from Best Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature while one or two can come from Best Supporting Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature. The third category, which became important with Kubo and the Two Strings…

Chalk another one up for Roma. We’re getting close to the end of the critics awards, which means the industry will now start weighing in, including the Producers Guild later this week. At that point, all of these carbon-copy critics prizes will be largely forgotten. Award Tallies (3) Roma (2) The Favourite, A Quiet Place…

The ICG Publists Guild doesn’t have anything remotely significant in terms of Oscar predictability and, of these films, four of them are fringe contenders that could be nominated, but definitely not all of them will. Doubtful that any of them would even win. The Nominations Maxwell Weinberg Publicist Showmanship Motion Picture Black Panther Bohemian Rhapsody…

Although it didn’t win many awards, Roma edged out everything else to win Best Picture. Can it do the same at the Oscars and become the first foreign language film to perform that feat? All signs point to maybe. There are a lot of obstacles to overcome, but it’s a distinct possibility. That is the…

When you only have four members, it’s a likelihood that ties will abound and this list is no exception. It isn’t particularly instructive, though. Award Tallies (6) A Star Is Born, Roma (3) First Man (2) The Favourite, A Quiet Place The Awards

A Star Is Born finally picks up another prize after a long drought. Not a lot of new here. Award Tallies (3) Roma, A Star Is Born (2) Eighth Grade The Awards

The Women Film Journalists have made their choices known with Roma coming out the big winner. Most of their selections are ones we’ve seen before, so take a look at the special awards they have that no one else does. Award Tallies (5) Roma (4) The Favourite (3) Can You Ever Forgive Me? The Awards

The surprise omission here is Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald didn’t make the list. Colette might have snuck in with a citation here, but ultimately, you can take the ten nominees in Fantasy and Period and distill those down to five to find the Oscar nominations with a slight favor towards period over fantasy.…

The Hollywood Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild is one of the few guilds who have categories that can feature multiple nominees. Usually, if you see a film appear in three categories, they are a major player for the Oscar. There are none of those this year. Instead, we have seven films with two citations…

It’s not surprising that British productions have an advantage here. Of the six films nominated in Best British Film, three of them did far better here than either any other film or than expected. The Favourite was the nominations leader, even without the British Film citation. It made it into every conceivable category. Bohemian Rhapsody…

There’s not much to say here as neither the nominees nor the winner are important to the Oscar race itself. The Awards Best Canadian Film ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch Toronto Film Critics Association Data First Awards: 1997 (22)

Another list of winners that won’t have a huge impact on the Oscars, Edge of the Knife wins the Vancouver Critics prize while Toronto winner ANTHROPOCENE takes the documentary prize here. Award Tallies (4) Edge of the Knife (2) Roads in February, When the Storm Fades The Awards

When even the LGBTQ film critics can take a path not unlike every other group, you know things have settled into a pattern. Award Tallies (3) The Favourite (2) Can You Ever Forgive Me? The Awards
