Precursor: 74th Writers Guild Awards (2021)
One unexpected victory and one expected one. They didn’t really give us anything more to chew on than we had before.

Precursor: 33rd Producers Guild Awards (2021)
Leave it to the Producers Guild to screw up a generally deserving awards season. The Power of the Dog should have won Best Picture, but it lost out to the early festival fave CODA. Does this change the Oscar trajectory? Perhaps, but we’ll see how the preferential balloting handles this. The Awards Best Picture CODA…

Precursor: 21st AARP Movies for Grownups Awards (2021)
What a weird hodge podge of selections, none of which seem particularly instructive in the Oscar race and none of which that don’t really scream that the entire organization voted for them while some really do seem to scream that. AwardsTallies (2) King Richard The Awards

2021 Precursor Predictions: American Society of Cinematographers
Having influence over the Best Cinematography category at the Oscars, the ASC has split quite often with the Academy and might be one of the oldest organizations to do so on a frequent basis. Will they be able to forecast the Oscar victor between Dune and The Power of the Dog? We shall see.

2021 Precursor Predictions: Cinema Audio Society
Of the two sound-related categories that got axed, this was the one that remained. While nominally inclusive of the sound editing folks, everyone pays attention to the Cinema Audio Society for direction instead since the nominations this year seem very much in tune with what they would pick and/or nominate.

2021 Precursor Predictions: Producers Guild of America
While the PGA is a relative neophyte compared to the likes of the DGA and WGA, it is has still forecast a handful of Best Picture victories, so keep an eye on them, but remember that they don’t always pick the winner, especially if it’s a fluky selection.
