Not much to see here. Award Tallies (4) Dune, Encanto, The Power of the Dog (2) Cruella, Parallel Mothers The Awards

And there we have the least influential Spirit Awards in years. Everything went largely as expected. AwardsTallies (3) The Lost Daughter (2) Passing, Zola (1) 7 Days, CODA, Pig, Red Rocket, Shiva Baby, Summer of Soul The Awards

While Dune pulled in the most awards, it was The Power of the Dog that took the biggest prizes with four out of the top six awards losing on in Best Supporting Actress to Ariana DeBose and it wasn’t nominated in Best Actress. It’s an interesting list of winners that reverse course on some of…

It looks like the Oscar race may come down to a battle between Nightmare Alley and Dune. Who knows for sure which will come out on top. The Awards Best Period Art Direction Nightmare Alley (Wesley, Thomas, RU:Peter, RU:Tripp) Best Fantasy Art Direction Dune (Wesley, Peter, Tripp, Thomas) Best Contemporary Art Direction No Time to…

Apparently, the tennis matches were really well edited together. The Awards Best Drama Editing King Richard Best Comedy/Musical Editing tick, tick…BOOM! (RU:Wesley, RU:Tripp, RU:Thomas) Best Animation Editing Encanto (Peter, Tripp, Thomas) Best Documentary Editing Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (Wesley, Peter, Thomas, RU:Tripp) American Cinema Editors Data Year Founded:…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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

Outside of the support of films like Encanto and In the Heights, this group’s selections look like most of the others. Nominations Tallies (13) West Side Story (12) The Power of the Dog (10) Dune (8) Encanto (6) Nightmare Alley, tick, tick…BOOM! (4) CODA, In the Heights, No Time to Die The Nominations
