  • 94th Oscar Preview: Precursors Coverage Beginning This Week

    Precursor season began with the Gotham Awards nominations back at the end of October.

  • Precursor: 38th Spirit Award Nominations (2022)

  • Precursor: 32nd Gotham Awards Nominations (2022)

    While there are several names here that are Oscar contenders, a lot of them aren’t and that calls into question the purpose of these awards, especially since they only look at indie cinema and they don’t seem to examine late-year releases as often.
