Precursor: 31st Southeastern Critics Awards (2022)

Precursor: 35th Chicago Critics Nominations (2022)
Dominating this year’s Chicago Film Critics Association nominations, Everything Everywhere All at Once has topped the list with 12 citations while The Banshees of Inisherin does quite well in second with seven. The Fabelmans only has two mentions. Nominations Tallies (12) Everything Everywhere All at Once (7) The Banshees of Inisherin (6) Aftersun (5) Babylon,…

Precursor: 80th Golden Globe Nominations (2022)
Having proclaimed they have fixed their diversity problem, the Golden Globe awards have returned in full force this year with a slate of nominees that fits in with their past voting, so there’s not a lot of newness here. While Avatar: The Way of Water, Elvis, and Top Gun: Maverick nabbed big nominations, their overall…

95th Oscar Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 2
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). Some major and minor groups announced this week, including critics in Los Angeles, Boston, Washington D.C., and Hollywood.…

Precursor: 48th Los Angeles Critics Awards (2022)
The last of today’s announcements that I can find, Everything Everywhere All at Once tied with Tár for Best Picture, which is an extremely rare selection. What’s even more unusual is the choice of EO in Cinematography. Nominations Tallies (4) Tár (2) EO, Everything Everywhere All at Once The Nominations

Precursor: 43rd Boston Critics Awards (2022)
In an uncommon occurrence, the Boston critics selected Return to Seoul as the best film of the year, an off-the-wall choice if anything, thus forcing them to change the name of their foreign language award to Best English Language Film, which went to The Banshees of Inisherin, which did quite well with this group. Nominations…

Precursor: 21st New York Online Critics Awards (2022)
The Banshees of Inisherin got its best news of the season so far with a large array of wins from this group with a few unexpected selections (Hong Chau, Nope) along the way. Nominations Tallies (5) The Banshees of Inisherin (2) Elvis, Everything Everywhere All at Once The Nominations

Precursor: 21st DC Critics Nominations (2022)

Precursor: 22nd American Film Institute (2022)

Precursor: 27th Satellite Awards Nominations (2022)
This group has never been a reliable Oscar bellwether and their early release often eliminates newer films from competition, so the fact that Top Gun: Maverick did this well isn’t surprising, but Babylon and The Fabelmans did better than their late releases would suggest. On top of that, where is She Said? Nominations Tallies (10)…

Precursor: 6th Hollywood Critics Creative Arts Nominations (2022)
The Hollywood Critics Association, which has been roiled by controversy and resignations, has decided to split off its creative arts categories so that they can have two ceremonies instead of one. Probably not the best idea, but they may be hoping to streamline their main awards so they can hook a broadcast deal. Anyway, these…

Precursor: 20th African American Critics Awards, Part 1 (2022)
Other category winners to be announced on January 16. The African American Film Critics Association have announced their ranked top ten list and then will announce the remainder of their awards later. While it’s a fairly broad selection of films, the vast majority of them aren’t major Oscar players. Only the top 3 along with…

Precursor: 94th National Board of Review Awards (2022)
The National Board of Review is usually the first major precursor to release their results, but were beaten to the punch by the New York Film Critics Circle. This year, they went a little more populist than they have in the past and chose Top Gun: Maverick, a Best Picture nomination contender that may now…

Precursor: 60th Publicists Guild Nominations (2022)
These are the individual nominations for the Publicists Guild nominations. There isn’t anything to say about them since they don’t reflect individual films. Those nominations come later. The Nominations

Precursor: 19th Women Critics Nominations (2022)
The Women Film Critics Circle gave The Woman King The most nominations, but they also seemed to like six other films, all with female leads. None of the films took in more than a single nomination.
