Oscar Preview: Weekend of Dec. 4-6, 2015
We had two films release this past weekend with the potential for Oscar nominations. Macbeth Harvey Weinstein picked this Shakespearean adaptation up starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard. In spite of strong advance press, the festival circuit wasn’t terribly impressed and the film has largely languished. It’s now getting dumped into the midst of Oscar…

Precursor: 14th DC Critics Awards (2015)
Another victory for Spotlight gives the film a strong edge at an Oscar nomination. However, Mad Max: Fury Road earned more awards than any other film, giving it a nice boost. Leonardo DiCaprio’s prize will help him towards Oscar and Saoirse Ronan is quietly becoming the actress to beat. Award Tallies (3) Mad Max: Fury…

Precursor: 19th Online Critics Nominations (2015)
The Online Film Critics have presented its annual semi-eclectic list of nominees, with several frontrunners peppered with occasional niche choices that may not get very far with Oscar. Carol, Mad Max: Fury Road and The Martian get significant boosts as does the category frauds of Rooney Mara and Alicia Vikander. Nominations Tallies (6) Carol, Sicario…

Precursor: 58th Grammy Awards Nominations (2015)
The Grammy nominations have released and, to no one’s surprise, it’s heavy on 2014 films with only two Compilation Soundtrack nominations from 2015 and none from Score Soundtrack. The good news is that the Song nominees are predominantly 2015 entries, though they aren’t your typical Oscar competitors, so it may not be very instructive in…

Precursor: 14th New York Online Critics Awards (2015)
What is shaping up to be a battle between Spotlight and Mad Max: Fury Road at the critics awards has earned Spotlight another top prize, taking more awards than it has so far. Rooney Mara gets gerrymandered in support in spite of being the co-lead of her film, while Mark Rylance picks up another trophy.…

Winning one other award, Spotlight came out on top of this year’s L.A. Film Critics Awards, with Mad Max: Fury Road as runner-up and three other prizes of its own. Michael Fassbender gets some love, as does Charlotte Rampling. Rampling needs the attention to get an Oscar nomination, Fassbender doesn’t. Michael Shannon and Alicia Vikander…
