Precursors to the Academy Awards come in many different types and they can appear all year from festivals and national awards to critics groups and other organization. Each month, we’ll take a look at all of the upcoming events that could have some small impact on the Oscars so you can plan out what to…

95th Oscars Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 9
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). While we had two major groups announce last week, the real story is the Oscar nominations on Tuesday.…

Precursor: 22nd AARP Movies for Grownups Nominations (2022)
Always a bit more populist than the critics groups, the AARP movie awards largely played it safe, though their selections of Judd Hirsch and Judith Ivey are a bit outside the norm this season. Awards Tallies (2) Elvis The Awards

Precursor: 75th Writers Guild Nominations (2022)
While these are interesting in hindsight, coming after the Oscar nominations, their impact is severely lessened…especially since we know that the Oscar nominees that aren’t here were excluded due to eligibility issues. The Nominations Best Original Screenplay Everything Everywhere All at Once The Fabelmans The Menu Nope Tár Best Adapted Screenplay Black Panther: Wakanda Forever…

95th Oscar Nominations
A couple of big surprises. The whisper campaign for Andrea Riseborough paid off, but at the expensive two Black actors (Viola Davis & Danielle Deadwyler). Top Gun: Maverick didn’t make it into Cinematography, one of its strongest chances at a win. Decision to Leave wasn’t nominated for Best International Feature. Beyond that, there were minor…

Precursor: 43rd Golden Raspberry Nominations (2022)
Andrew Dominik’s exposé of Marilyn Monroe was lambasted by critics for everything except Ana de Armas’ performance, which got an Oscar nomination. The Razzies have also roasted the film giving it plenty of citations (thankfully not for de Armas). It’s always fascinating when an Oscar nominee also shows up here, though a lot of their…

Precursor: 26th Online Critics Awards (2022)
Online critics showed most of their love to Everything Everywhere All at Once, though The Banshees of Inisherin did well as well. Awards Tallies (6) Everything Everywhere All at Once (4) The Banshees of Inisherin (2) Avatar: The Way of Water, RRR, Top Gun: Maverick The Awards

Precursor: 56th Kansas City Critics Awards (2022)
Another group that tried to give everything to Everything Everywhere All at Once, but ultimately failed since there were other winners. Awards Tallies (7) Everything Everywhere All at Once (2) Nope, RRR The Awards

95th Oscars Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 8
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). Tomorrow’s the nominations announcement and we’ll see how the precursors did in forecasting the year’s nominations. The major…

Precursor: 23rd Vancouver Critics Nominations (2022)
Vancouver loves their Canadian films, which always get the most nominations, but strangely Women Talking didn’t do terribly well compared to the other nominees. Everything Everywhere All at Once tied in the regular categories with The Banshees of Inisherin right on its heels. Nominations Tallies (9) Riceboy Sleeps (7) The Banshees of Inisherin, Everything Everywhere…
-
Precursor: 5th Latino Journalists Nominations (2022)
Latino journalists went all-in on Everything Everywhere All at Once, but they also loved Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, The Banshees of Inisherin, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as well. Nominations Tallies (16) Everything Everywhere All at Once (9) Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (8) The Banshees of Inisherin, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (7) Top Gun: Maverick…

Precursor: 7th Chicago Independent Critics Awards (2022)
Chicago’s independent critics adored Everything Everywhere All at Once and a smattering of other things. Awards Tallies (6) Everything Everywhere All at Once (3) RRR (2) Avatar: The Way of Water, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio The Awards
-
Precursor: 64th British Academy Nominations (2022)
Can history repeat itself at the Oscars, these nominations might suggest it’s possible. A new adaptation of the classic novel All Quiet on the Western Front crushed its competitors to come up ahead in the BAFTA nominations. Proving that American films weren’t all they were cracked up to be, Avatar: The Way of Water and…
-
Precursor: 36th USC Scripter Nominations (2022)
One of the most accurate precursors, the USC Scripter award for Best Adapted Screenplay. A couple of major Oscar contenders are missing. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Story is the most injured by these selections, though After Yang, All Quiet on the Western Front, The Whale, and White Noise aren’t going to feel much better…

Precursor: 26th Online Critics Nominations (2022)
With only a handful of idiosyncrasies, this list looks like many others. Nominations Tallies (11) Everything Everywhere All at Once (9) The Banshees of Inisherin (8) The Fabelmans (6) Tár (4) Aftersun, Elvis, Nope, Top Gun: Maverick (3) Babylon, RRR, Women Talking The Nominations
