Precursor: 25th Screen Actors Guild Nominations (2018)
It was a good morning for A Star Is Born and BlacKkKlansman. Apart from that, the nominations are almost as notable for their exclusions than their inclusions. No nominations at all for If Beale Street Could Talk (Regina King or cast), Roma (Yalitza Aparicio cast), First Man (Claire Foy), First Reformed (Ethan Hawke), At Eternity’s…

Precursor: 16th African American Critics Awards (2018)
The African American Film Critics Association has chosen Black Panther as the Best Film of the year, beating out If Beale Street Could Talk based on their top ten of the year. Most interesting, BlacKkKlansman, which received two awards for writing and lead actor, didn’t make the top ten selections. There isn’t a lot of…

As the OFCS & GALECA reach their screening deadlines, my mailbox is becoming overstuffed with screeners. Here are the metric ton I’ve received this week.

Precursor: 23rd San Diego Critics Awards (2018)
Going out on a limb, the San Diego critics made some strange and unusual choices. Picking a handful of Oscar contenders, but otherwise going straight for non-competitors, their selections are idiosyncratic, which is interesting, but inconsequential. Award Tallies (3) Leave No Trace (2) The Favourite The Awards

Oscar Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 4
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). A slew of precursors have been handed out this week and most of the major ones have been…

Precursor: 3rd Seattle Critics Nominations (2018)
Another decent showing for First Man. Does this mean the film will be performing better at the Oscars? Unlikely as the five nominations the film got were below the line (save Claire Foy). The Favourite did incredibly well, as did Roma, Black Panther, and If Beale Street Could Talk. Mission: Impossible – Fallout even managed…
-
Precursor: 24th Broadcast Critics Nominations (2018)
Aided by the comedy categories, The Favourite pulled in the most nominations of the year with Black Panther doing incredibly well as well. First Man gets the first serious attention it’s received all season with double-digit nominations. Roma didn’t do nearly as well as the others, but had a solid run, though Green Book was…

Precursor: 13th St. Louis Critics Nominations (2018)
In a three-way tie for most nominations, The Favourite, A Star Is Born, and Vice were the big winners in these awards with Roma, BlacKkKlansman, and If Beale Street Could Talk also doing well. There are a handful of unusual selections, but for the most part this list follows the conventional narrative. Nominations Tallies (8)…

Precursor: 3rd New Mexico Critics (2018)
When we talk about minor critics awards, this group springs to mind since this is only their third year and they don’t pull up easily in search results on Google. That said, they have gone out of their way this year to look nothing like anything else out there. Sure, The Favourite did incredibly well,…

Precursor: 17th New York Online Critics Awards (2018)
Replicating most of what’s come before, the New York Film Critics Online have chosen nothing new. Award Tallies (3) Roma (2) Can You Ever Forgive Me?, The Favourite, If Beale Street Could Talk The Awards
-
Precursor: 22nd Toronto Critics Awards (2018)
Toronto is also head-over-heels for Roma, but also gave equal attention to The Favourite and First Reformed. Steven Yuen continues to merit strong attention for Burning. A dark horse contender for a Supporting Actor nomination? Maybe. Award Tallies (2) The Favourite, First Reformed, Roma The Awards
-
Precursor: 17th San Francisco Critics Awards (2018)
Another win for Roma and a first for Spike Lee as director of BlacKkKlansman. Michael B. Jordan also picks up his first and Orson Welles’ The Other Side of the Wind is a surprise editing winner. Award Tallies (3) BlacKkKlansman, Roma (2) First Reformed The Awards
-
Precursor: 44th Los Angeles Critics Awards (2018)
It seems like Roma is shaping up to be the film of the season, a verdict the Academy doesn’t seem particularly likely to support. It will be interesting to see how the televised races go, since Roma cannot win the Golden Globe since it’s locked in the foreign category only. It’s also not likely to…
