Precursor: 29th Cinematographers Guild Nominations (2014)
A list that excludes Interstellar is ok by me, though including The Imitation Game, which is journeyman work at best, seems like a slap in the face to so many other great cinematographers this year, including those for Ida and Nightcrawler who got quite a bit of attention this year. Don’t read too much into…

Precursor: 9th Oklahoma Critics Awards (2014)
Seeing the same results over and over again give these small regional critics problems since everyone’s heard the narrative and have moved on to the more obvious precursors. Still, this group gives out some interesting other awards, though I don’t particularly like the term Guilty Pleasure, especially when applied to a film that is aesthetically…

The DVD Report #394
New This Week DVD discs have been around since 1995, Blu-ray discs since 2006, yet there are still important films that have never been released in either format and a number of prior DVD releases that cry out for the superior picture and sound of Blu-ray that have yet to be upgraded to the newer…

Thanks to two separate nominations in the breakthrough category, the film easily topped Oscar nomination front-runners Birdman, Boyhood and The Grand Budapest Hotel. Nominations Tallies (9) Selma (7) Birdman, Boyhood,…

Precursor: 26th Producers Guild Nominations (2014)
Warner Bros. should either be kicking itself or should fire its entire awards publicity staff. Selma, which is receiving very strong reviews, was entirely ignored on this year’s Producers Guild of America list, completely destroying the film’s chances at winning Best Picture. The film, about legendary civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., is directed…
