Precursor: 66th Sound Editors Guild Awards (2018)
A night of few surprises, A Quiet Place won the traditional effects/foley category while dialogue/ADR went to Bohemian Rhapsody. Rhapsody also picked up the musical category, but the surprise (to some, but not to those who’ve actually seen it) win was Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which not only took the expected animation feature category, but…

Precursor: 71st Writers Guild Awards (2018)
Never content to leave a race predictable. The Writers Guild of America, already with the most unusual, arcane rules of all of the guilds, went out on a limb not once, but twice. Eighth Grade beats all the odds and triumphed over Oscar-nominated scripts by familiar names. Can You Ever Forgive Me? did the same.…

Precursor: 10th Make-Up Artists Guild Awards (2018)
Nothing terribly surprising happened with the Hollywood Make-Up and Hair Stylists Guild awards with Vice winning its two expected prizes and the other nominated Oscar nominee Mary Queen of Scots winning one.

Precursor: 26th Cinema Audio Society Awards (2018)
In a shocking turn of events, the Cinema Audio Society chose Bohemian…no, that’s not the shocking part. Most people thought it was a possibility and it confirmed my Oscar suspicions. The surprise was that Isle of Dogs managed to beat Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse for the animated sound mixing award. The Awards Best Sound Mixing…

2018 Precursor Predictions: Make-Up Artists Guild
The Hollywood Make-Up and Hair-Stylists Guild is one of the newest groups handing out awards and they haven’t been able to generate any kind of pattern in terms of their predictability. Having five categories that could match might help a little. MAKE-UP ARTISTS & HAIR STYLISTS GUILD AWARDS Best Period and/or Character Make-up Bohemian Rhapsody…

2018 Precursor Predictions: Motion Picture Sound Editors
The Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel Awards have bountiful nominations and before the expansion to five nominees at the Oscars, weren’t particularly instructive. Now, they have a bit more influence and a bit more cross-over. MOTION PICTURE SOUND EDITORS AWARDS Best Sound Editing: Sound Effects and Foley in a Feature Film Avengers: Infinity War…

2018 Precursor Predictions: Writers Guild of America
The Writers Guild of America, because of their notoriously stringent nominations guidelines (non-guild signatories are completely ineligible, so foreign films, animated films, and smaller independents tend to be out of their race). This has created some suspense going into Oscar night as some of the Oscar frontrunners (like The Favourite this year) weren’t eligible to…
