Precursor: 17th Visual Effects Society Awards (2018)
Why this group decided to change their show date is beyond me. I got the information directly from their page. These results confirm the fact that, in my mind, Avengers: Infinity War is the race leader for the Best Visual Effects Oscar. Award Tallies (4) Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (3) Avengers: Infinity War (2) Ready…

Precursor: 18th AARP Movies for Grownups Awards (2018)
Spreading the love far and wide, the AARP voters went in the most expected and telling direction possible with their selection of Green Book as best film.

And nothing changes. They had an opportunity to award legendary filmmaker Spike Lee and they didn’t take it. Roma continues its strong Oscar season push and carries the award it needed more than any other.

There was some concern early in the season that The Favourite wouldn’t be able to turn its critical acclaim into an Oscar campaign. It wasn’t exactly the kind of period piece the Academy goes for.
