You can always expect the Screen Actors Guild is going to shake up the conversation and this year is proof. Marriage Story missed out on an ensemble, but received three acting nominations. Meanwhile, Parasite got no individual nominations, but was included for the ensemble award. There weren’t a ton of surprises here with Parasite being…

The biggest surprise omission here is Little Women, while something as generally tradition as The Irishman was ignored as was 1917. That said, this list doesn’t carry any real surprises as many of the top contenders are here and Disney has once again dominated with all five slots in the Fantasy category. The Awards

The biggest news here is the absence of 1917. War films are often thought to be major players with this group. That said, some other noteworthy snubs include everything Disney in the main category (no new Star Wars, no Avengers: Endgame, no live-action remakes) and Ad Astra. Surprisingly, four of my five current predictions are…

The African American Film Critics Associaiton has announced its winners for 2019 and while they may predominantly select black winners, their awards don’t look terribly different from the mainstream, suggesting that diversity is finally spreading. No major surprises here, though this does pretty much tell us that Waves will not be manifesting as a dark…

The appreciation for Harriet was much stronger than expected from this group, both in terms of nominations and award selections. Beyond that, it’s a rather traditional list for this gorup. Award Tallies (6) Harriet (3) Marriage Story, Portrait of a Lady on Fire (1) Little Women, Vita & Virginia Nominations Tallies (9) Harriet (7) Official…

With a single nomination separating them, The Irishman and Parasite, both competing to be the most awarded Best Picture winner this year, came out on top of this list, which seems to reflect a lot of what we’ve seen so far.

Going for left field, Philadelphia’s film critics gave their prize for Best Picture to Knives Out whiel divvying up most of their awards between Irishman, Little Women, Once Upon a Time and others. Award Tallies (2) The Irishman, Knives Out, Little Women, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood The Awards

Disney dominates the Fantasy Art Direction category with a single film, Ad Astra, not produced by the Mouse House. They show up with three titles in the animation category as well, but nowhere else. A lot of the expected competitors are here with Ford v Ferrari and Joker a bit surprising and the absence of…

With the Golden Globe nominations this morning, some campaigns received a shot in the arm while others took a dive. Marriage Story surprisingly topped the nominations with key entries in nearly every category except Best Director, which isn’t the best sign. Irishman and Once Upon a Time also did well with Two Popes and Parasite…

Apparently, the folks voting in St. Louis aren’t fans of Joker, a film that’s been earning Best Picture citations alongside myriad other nominations and awards is nominated here as Worst Film and it will probably be the only group to feel that way. A lot of the regulars are here as well with Long Day’s…
