Precursor: 27th USC Scripter Nominations (2013)
Typically, it’s the USC Scripter nominations rather than the Writers Guild of America that become the prediction starting point for the Adapted Screenplay category. That’s because the USC doesn’t declare a field of potential nominees ineligible simply because they aren’t working a guild contract. As such, they can be a pretty decent bellwether for the…

Precursor: 18th Art Directors Guild Nominations (2013)
The traditional period dramas are largely absent with films set during the Civil War, the 1970’s and the 1960’s largely dominant. None of the selections are particularly unusual, nor are the choices in the other categories. You could probably pull in some of the Art Direction selections from the Fantasy category and eliminate one or…

Precursor: 14th Vancouver Film Critics Awards (2013)
Vancouver announced later than I expected, but they went along already-drawn routes. Oscar Isaac picks up another mention, but he may not have enough support to crack a very strong Oscar slate. Rather interesting is that other than Inside Llewyn Davis, which took two awards, no other film earned more than a single prize. At…

Cinematographers Nominations (2013)In a very rare 3-way tie, the ASC has selected 7 films to represent itself as the year’s best in cinematography.
