One of the more accurate critics groups out there, The Power of the Dog gains a huge benefit with these wins. Dune holds its own while Kristen Stewart keeps chugging along. Awards Tallies (6) The Power of the Dog (2) Dune The Awards Best Film The Power of the Dog Licorice Pizza Belfast The Green…

Phoenix critics couldn’t decide which film to honor more, so they gave Best Picture winner Belfast 5 and tech-sweeper Dune 5. They also liked Mass and The Power of the Dog, the former more than almost any other group so far. Awards Tallies (5) Belfast, Dune (2) Mass, The Power of the Dog The Awards…

The Mahershala Ali nomination seems a bit out there. Sounds like a pick they made just to make it seem like they aren’t racist. Yet, they couldn’t find enough votes to nominate Jennifer Hudson for Respect against a rather weak Comedy/Musical line-up. That Belfast and The Power of the Dog did well speaks to their…

Chicago really loved West Side Story, giving it 3 more citations than The Power of the Dog.

One would expect a film like West Side Story to top the nomination, but Licorice Pizza doing so is a bit of a surprise, though not a huge one. Not a lot of interest in this list overall. Nominations Tallies (9) Licorice Pizza, West Side Story (8) Belfast, Dune, The Power of the Dog (6)…

With such a small number of members, New Mexico’s film critics are always idiosyncratic in their choices and I can’t imagine the vast majority of these carrying over to the Oscars.
