Precursor: Make-Up and Hair Stylists Guild Nominations (2013)
Long ago (2003), the Hollywood Makeup & Hairstylists Guild gave out awards. From 1999 to 2003, they presented almost this exact list of categories and winners. Yet, all records after 2003 indicate that the precursor vanished. It seems like they are back and while they are interesting, without that historical information, it’s impossible to say…

Precursor: 61st Motion Picture Sound Editors Nominations (2013)
With so many nominees, you wouldn’t think the Motion Picture Sound Editors would be that helpful in predicting the Oscars. However, they certainly are.

Non-Precursor: 34th Golden Raspberry Nominations (2013)
They aren’t precursors, but they are amusing annual tradition since 1980. The Golden Raspberry Awards, known as the Razzies, are a fun glimpse into the minds of the irreverant. While they’ve rarely dug into big, important movies, they do highlight some of the worst missteps that appear each year, which includes both After Earth and…

Looking at the Weekend: Jan. 17-19, 2014
Will it be action or horror? This week’s two potential champions embrace two genres that have historically done well at the box office, but I give the edge to Jack Ryan, which reboots a popular characterr from a book and film franchise.
