Precursor: 19th Costume Designers Guild Nominations (2016)
The Costume Designers Guild is a solid precursor in that they nominate fifteen films, which should fill a four-film category.

Precursor: 69th Directors Guild Nominations (2016)
The guild awards are always the place to look for Oscar clues and few are more predictive than the Directors Guild of America. Outside of a handful of instances, the Oscar winner is always an DGA nominee and four-of-five DGA nominees usually carry over to the Oscars. I can see this year going five-for-five. Noteworthy…

Precursor: 31st Cinematographers Guild Nominations (2016)
The first thing to talk about here is the surprise inclusion of Greg Fraiser for Lion. So far, the film has only picked up one nomination for Best Cinematography and that was from Phoenix.

Houston, we have a problem. Your association website is two years out of date. Having to go to IMDB to find your awards information isn’t the best idea. Anyway, the Houston Film Critics showed more love for Jackie and The Nice Guys; however, the rest of the list is fairly commonplace this season and not…
