95th Oscars Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 12
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). A couple of big name organizations announced winners this past week. The British Academy and the Directors Guild…

Precursor: 64th British Academy Awards (2022)
In a bit of a surprise, All Quiet on the Western Front dominated the BAFTA, leaving hometown favorite The Banshees of Inisherin and critics favorite Everything Everywhere All at Once in the dust. Austin Butler wins in a shocker over Colin Farrell and Brendan Fraser. Other than that, most of the awards went as expected.…

Precursor: 23rd Vancouver Critics Awards (2022)
Vancouver’s critics went in different directions and sometimes inexplicably. Everything was well liked, but ignored one of the few actors to have dominated the season. Meanwhile, Canadian efforts I Like Movies and Riceboy Sleeps dominated the Canadian portion of the group’s awards with Women Talking winning across both. Awards Tallies (4) I Like Movies (3)…

Precursor: 75th Directors Guild Awards (2022)
The Daniels won this year’s DGA, which means it is now the odds-on favorite to win the Best Directing Oscar. While it would also make Everything Everywhere All at Once the film to beat in Best Picture, there’s no guarantee in recent years that it will go to the DGA winner. The Awards Best Director…

95th Oscars Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 11
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).

Precursor: 14th Make-Up Artists Guild Awards (2022)
The awards went about as expected considering each of us predicted at least one prize right and most of us predicted four out of five. Not much to say about this result as it plays into the conventional narrative for this year’s Oscars. Awards Tallies (2) Elvis The Awards

Precursor: 27th Online Film & Television Nominations (2022)
With four acting nominations and a slew of craft citations, Everything Everywhere All at Once was the dominant film at this year’s awards. Keep an eye out for third-place The Banshees of Inisherin. Last year’s third-place nomination finisher, The Power of the Dog, went on to win Best Picture. Nominations Tallies (20) Everything Everywhere All…

95th Oscars Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 10
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).

Precursor: 65th Grammy Awards (2022)
Encanto was the big winner more than a year after its initial release. It’s an utterly irrelevant year for the Grammys related to this year’s Oscars. Awards Tallies (3) Encanto The Awards

Precursor: 43rd London Critics Awards (2022)
London’s critics have an affinity for anything that isn’t Everything Everywhere All at Once giving the bulk of its awards to Tár and The Banshees of Inisherin. Awards Tallies (4) The Banshees of Inisherin (3) Tár (2) Aftersun The Awards

Precursor: 62nd American Cinema Editors Nominations (2022)
That these came out after the Oscar nominations diminishes their importance. Had they come out before, we might have seen the strength of Triangle of Sadness and possibly considered Tár the editing contender that it was. But alas, we could not. The Nominations Best Drama Editing All Quiet on the Western Front Elvis Tár Top…
