Precursor: 14th Utah Critics Awards (2015)
Utah Critics love their genre films, awarding only The Revenant, Room and Creed in the main categories with the runners-up all largely hailing from genres other than Academy-friendly dramas. While there weren’t many really unusual selections, two stick out. The first is Rose Byrne’s win for Spy, a movie I wholeheartedly support. The second is…

Precursor: 19th Florida Critics Nominations (2015)
Topping another set of nominations, Carol edged out Mad Max: Fury Road by one nomination. Ex Machina and Spotlight did fairly well. One of the few critics groups to announce after Star Wars: The Force Awakens released gave it three nominations, but only in the tech categories (plus a Best Breakthrough nomination). There are really…

88th Oscars: Visual Effects Finalists
The Visual Effects branch has complete its narrowing of contenders for this year’s Best Visual Effects Oscar. All five of the films I am currently predicting to get Oscar nominations are still on the list. Of the films that didn’t make the cut, only Everest and Terminator Genisys seem oddly absent. I also don’t know…

As the precursor awards continue unabated until Oscar night, I’m going to be providing a weekly update highlighting the films that have won and lost momentum through the precursor awards (and in some cases other outside influences).

Oscar Preview: Weekend of Dec. 18-20, 2015
We had five films release this past weekend with the potential for Oscar nominations. (NOTE: I realized as I was preparing the article for Dec. 25-27 that I inadvertently did that weekends releases here. As such, I’m doing the Dec. 18-20, 2015 releases during the Dec. 25-27 window instead.) Concussion Before this film unspooled, there…

Precursor: 49th Kansas City Critics Awards (2015)
Another prize for Mad Max: Fury Road, so far the only film to be giving Spotlight a run for its money this season. More love for DiCaprio proving the studio should have screened it sooner and he might have had a much larger consensus. Michael Shannon and Alicia Vikander are also proving formidable, but which…
