Precursor: 62nd Sound Editors Guild Nominations (2014)
The Sound Editors have spoken and we have heard them. Birdman is doing incredibly well with this guild, topping every other film with three nominations, getting into both the Sound Effects and Dialogue categories. Only Unbroken was able to duplicate that feat. It’s quite possible that both films (which also showed up with the Cinema…

Looking at the Weekend: Jan. 16-18, 2015
It’s possible that Taken 3 holds the top spot for a second weekend, but Paddington gives families a rare opportunity to get back to the cinema in January. Individual Commentaries Wesley Lovell: Blackhat has solid pedigree, so it’s probably the best chance you have of finding something good this week. Peter J. Patrick: Paddington for…

Precursor: 13th Visual Effects Society Nominations (2014)
The key categories to look at are Visual Effects and Supporting Visual Effects categories. Of these, only the films in the Effects-Driven category are on the Oscar shortlist and all six are there. Drop one of them and you may have the Oscar nominees (I’d suggest dropping Maleficent). Another sure sign is that four of…

Oscar Morning: The Article (2014)
FOR AN OSCAR MORNING TRACKING SHEET, CLICK HERE. My predictions are in BOLD. The Academy has made a lot of effort in recent years to make their awards more accessible as well as appeal to the many Oscar enthusiasts out here. This year, they are furthering that goal by doing something unprecedented. Starting at 5:30am…

Precursor: 35th Golden Raspberry Nominations (2014)
Maybe they should expand their worst picture slate to ten like the Oscars. The Golden Raspberry Awards, otherwise known as the Razzies, are traditional presented on the eve of the Oscars. They typically include a random assortment of the broadly worst films and performances of the year. Most of their selections are easy jabs and…

Precursor: 67th Directors Guild of America Nominations (2014)
Murkier still are the waters of this year’s Oscar race. Clint Eastwood wasn’t much in the conversation this year, but with a nomination from the DGA, he suddenly launches into contention. Whether he can muster a nod at the Oscars is uncertain. The Academy’s directing branch have gone weird ways in recent years, ignoring both…

Precursor: 22nd Cinema Audio Society Nominations (2014)
What do these nominations say about the race? It’s anything but over. No Into the Woods, no The Hobbit, no Imitation Game, no Transformers. Birdman seems like the most odd-ball choice in this group while I wouldn’t bet against American Sniper, Guardians of the Galaxy or Interstellar. However, last year’s Marvel entry, Iron Man 3…

The DVD Report #395
New This Week From its initial screening at Sundance last January to its theatrical release in August and beyond, Richard Linklater’s Boyhood seemed poised to win the preponderance of year-end critics’ awards. What seemed less certain was its ability to win more middle-of-the-road recognition from the likes of the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild…
