89th Oscars: Screener Watch: Dec. 5-11, 2016
This week, the A24 four-film package arrived, as did a title from 20th Century Fox. 20th Century Women Oscar Chances: Decent: This is one of those films that is likely to do well in only two categories and then not compete anywhere else. Best Actress is the most likely while Best Supporting Actress is a…

Precursor: 74th Golden Globe Nominations (2016)
Golden Globe voters (the Hollywood Foreign Press Association) are a quirky bunch. They always include contenders that the Academy will never recognize, especially in the Comedy/Musical category, but looking over the list, Oscar contenders are fairly well spread out, as are non-contenders. Simon Helberg doesn’t have a chance in the supporting category at the Oscars,…

Precursor: 29th Chicago Critics Nominations (2016)
With the hefty nominations count for Moonlight, I suspect the Chicago Film Critics will be heading that direction with their awards. Jackie finally has a strong showing while The Handmaiden also had a solid outing. The acting races are fairly unusual with plenty of familiar names missing while a lot of newer faces are making…

Precursor: 22nd Critics Choice Awards (2016)
It was clear from the outset, along with the slew of technical awards that La La Land received that it would be the big winner of the night. It is now positioned heading into the Oscar race as the film to beat, but it was that before these awards. Natalie Portman may have won here…

Precursor: 20th Toronto Critics Awards (2016)
The Toronto Film Critics Association has created the most eclectic bunch of winners of the season to date (and likely for the entire season). Toni Erdmann not only won the Best Foreign Language Film prize, it also managed shocking wins in Best Director and Best Actress. Adam Driver snagged his second accolade this year while…

Precursor: 15th San Francisco Critics Awards (2016)
In a development that should come as no surprise to anyone, Moonlight dominated the San Francisco Film Critics prizes, taking a staggering six trophies. What is more surprising is just how diverse this list is. You just have to see the winners of the acting prizes to see that diversity on full display. Award Tallies…

Precursor: 37th Boston Critics Awards (2016)
The Boston Society of Film Critics has chosen La La Land as the best of the year, giving it a total of 3 awards. With the exception of Tower for Best Animated Film, none of these selections are truly unexpected. Award Tallies (3) La La Land (2) The Handmaiden, Moonlight The Awards

Because the Broadcast Film Critics Association, under the trademarked name “Critics’ Choice,” has decided to host their event so early this year, I didn’t have enough time to scramble together our customary predictions thread. However, I still wanted to post my last-minute predictions for tonight’s ceremony. I’ve advised my contributors that they can add their…
