Precursor: 57th British Academy Nominations (2015)
Several notions were put to rest today by the British Academy of Film & Television Arts, the United Kingdom equivalent of the Academy Awards. First is that Carol was having a bad year. Tying Bridge of Spies for most nominations with 9, Carol is the year’s most nominated film. Unfortunately, they went for the category…

Precursor: 18th Costume Designers Guild Nominations (2015)
There aren’t many precursors for costume design, as such the Costume Designers Guild (CDG) is one of the best ways to see what the trade thinks of the potential nominees. Of the precursors that have gone out so far, The Assassin, Far from the Madding Crowd, Macbeth and The Throne are the only nominees that…

Precursor: 29th USC Scripter Nominations (2015)
Of the six adapted screenplays that have, so far, won accolades for being the best from various precursors, Carol and Anomalisa are the only ones missing from this list. It’s not surprising that Anomalisa is absent, because it’s based on a screenplay, not on a literary piece. The USC Scripters reward the original author of…

Precursor: 68th Writers Guild Nominations (2015)
Bridge of Spies takes a temporary lead in the guild derbies securing citations from six of six guilds. Mad Max: Fury Road and The Revenant were never going to be players here because they are light on dialogue, as such they move into second with five-for-six along with The Big Short, Spotlight and Sicario. [NOTE:…

Precursor: 30th Cinematographers Guild Nominations (2015)
All four of the films that have so far won precursors for their cinematography make an appearance here with Bridge of Spies rounding out the list. After two days of snubs, Carol makes a merited appearance on the list while Roger Deakins and Janusz Kaminski continue their almost-always-nominated trends. Emmanuel Lubeszki seems to be following…
