Precursor: 33rd Chicago Critics Nominations (2020)

Precursor: 86th New York Critics Awards (2020)
The New York Film Critics Circle went all out to change the narrative, with the exception of keeping the boat moored at the Chloe Zhao directorial slot. Everything else was largely new with Da 5 Bloods and Never Rarely Sometimes Always the only films to earn multiple citations. Award Tallies (2) Da 5 Bloods, Never…

Precursor: 24th Florida Critics Nominations (2020)
Florida seems to like a lot of movies, giving The Trial of the Chicago 7 its best showing so far this year and criminally underrating Promising Young Woman.

Precursor: 12th Indiana Critics Nominations (2020)
This large list of nominations is not like what many others put together, thus it’s difficult to draw many conclusions, though they really loved three films, giving them double-digit citations. Nominations Tallies (11) I’m Thinking of Ending Things (10) Minari, One Night in Miami (7) Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Promising Young Woman, Soul (6) First…

Precursor: 41st Boston Critics Awards (2020)
The 2020 film slate was dominated by Netflix, which was already stingy on their theatrical releases, yet they were largely ignored by the first major film critics organization to announce.

Precursor: 63rd Grammy Award Nominations (2020)
If there was a time when the Grammys were relevant as an Oscar prognostiscator, I cannot think of when. They have an asynchronous eligibility period where fall releases for one year show up in the nominations the following year. That is particularly true of this year’s slate. eleven films out of nineteen nominations were released…

Precursor: 1st Critics Choice Super Awards Nominations (2020)
Another separate awards shows. How many of these are they going to have? The only reason I even decided to cover this was that one of the main Oscar categories, Best Animated Feature, was moved to these awards rather than their flagship awards. Nothing really to see here other than you can tell that they…

Precursor: 5th Critics Choice Documentary Nominations (2020)
There isn’t much to say about these. Some major documentaries of the past year didn’t make the list, including All-In. Crip Camp was best liked, but John Lewis: Good Trouble was the most obvious nominated documentary missing from the top category.
