Precursor: 5th Hollywood Critics Awards (2021)
There isn’t a lot to see here. Had these been announced prior to the SAG awards as originally planned, they would have seemed oddball. The CODA choice will now be heralded as prophetic, but will it translate into an Oscar win? This group doesn’t have that level of prognosticative capability and with their slew of…

94th Oscar Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 13
As the precursor awards continue unabated until Oscar night, I’m going to be providing a weekly update highlighting the films that have won and lost momentum through the precursor awards (and in some cases other outside influences). Online a few weeks to go. This past week, we had only a couple of precursors, but one…

Precursor: 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards (2021)
It’s seldom that a cast this small wins the award and while it is a Best Picture nominee, no one expects it to win Best Picture, so this is probably the highlight of their season, though these could propel Troy Kotsur to an Oscar. Awards Tallies (2) CODA (1) The Eyes of Tammy Faye, King…

Precursor: 53rd NAACP Image Awards (2021)
Presented over several nights, the results are finally in for all of the NAACP Image Awards categories as outlined below. It’s interesting to see how Judas and the Black Messiah struggled against the tide of being big early in the year while The Harder They Fall, unimpressive in its Oscar haul this year (nothing), outperformed…

Precursor: 35th USC Scripter Awards (2021)
An upset to say the least. Since this awards isn’t given out by the film industry, it’s unlikely to have much impact on the Oscars, but it does make one wonder if The Power of the Dog is as strong a frontrunner as we’ve been thinking they are. The Awards Best Adapted Screenplay The Lost…

2021 Precursor Predictions: USC Scripter Awards
The USC Libraries holds an event each year celebrating the best screenplay adapted from existing works. Seldom do they recognize anything but literary adaptations to the big screen, but sometimes, like with The Tragedy of Macbeth, they’ll nominate play adaptations. They also have a pretty solid track record for Oscar foreshadowing, certainly better than the…

2021 Precursor Predictions: Screen Actors Guild
The carry over between SAG and Oscar is surprisingly minimal this year. Sure, Best Actor was identical, but the other categories saw two or three people each swapped out. Will that have an impact on Oscar voting? Quite possibly. It all depends on who wins.

Precursor: 2nd Critics Choice Super Awards Nominations (2021)
Delayed presumably due to the pandemic, this list is filled with dull selections and questionable ones (such as Zack Snyder’s director’s cut of Justice League being at all eligible). Nominations Tallies (5) Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider-Man: No Way Home (4) Don’t Look Up, No Time to Die, The Harder They…

Precursor: 13th GALECA Nominations (2021)
Nothing much to see here and it’s too late to be of any value. Award Tallies (9) The Power of the Dog (5) Flee, Passing, West Side Story (4) Drive My Car, tick, tick…BOOM!, The Worst Person in the World (3) Dune, Mass, Parallel Mothers, Titane The Awards
