The DVD Report #442
New This Week It seems as though the year just began, but now it’s time to sum it all up and give kudos to the year’s best DVD releases. With so few films being released solely on standard DVD, I’ve dispensed with naming the best of a pitiful lot. Instead I’m focusing on films released…

Precursor: 19th Toronto Critics Awards (2015)
Carol may have taken Best Picture and Best Director from the Toronto critics (who apparently live-tweeted their winners last night, but didn’t post until today), but it’s the wins for Shaun the Sheep Movie, Tom Hardy and Nina Hoss that are a bit surprising. None of these individuals or films have had much luck with…

Precursor: 24th Southeastern Critics Awards (2015)
Getting a jump on their usual announcement schedule, the Southeastern Film Critics pushed their awards out a week early. The results show Spotlight once again taking a Best Picture prize without a Best Director win. George Miller continues to rack up such trophies.

The Revenant had a smashing day at the Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Association taking four awards, but coming in second behind Spotlight which won two. Dallas-Fort Worth is the only group that announce ranked lists of most categories. The only real surprise was The Revenant topping The Hateful Eight for Music Score and even that…

88th Oscars: Competition Shortlist
Although the Academy says these are the films in competition for Best Picture, that’s really just a fancy way of saying that outside of the documentary, short film, and foreign film categories, every other film that’s released this year and is on this list is eligible in every other category unless they haven’t been shortlisted.…

Precursor: 28th Chicago Critics Nominations (2015)
Mad Max continues its Hoovering of the precursor nominations and awards with another leading 7 nominations from the Chicago critics. Carol, which came in second and was also a Best Picture nominee, failed to pick up a nod for Rooney Mara or for the screenplay, both of which would have put it above Max in…

Precursor: 21st Broadcast Critics Nominations (2015)
The Critics Choice awards nominations have been announced. This is the last of the major televised pre-Oscar awards groups. It’s noteworthy that this is the only major group that gives out genre-specific awards. As such, several of the top nominees (including Mad Max‘s 13) need to be taken with a grain of salt. To help…
