  • Precursor: 59th Motion Picture Sound Editors Nominations (2011)

    In all but one of the last four years, the 5 nominees for Sound Editing came from this slate of nominees (the Sound Effects/Foley and Dialogue/ADR categories in specific with an odd pickup from the Animation list in the years Pixar did well). So, you can expect no other nominees than what are here. With…

  • Trailer Watch: The Lady

    I love Michelle Yeoh and I’ve heard wonderful things about this performance. Too bad the trailer doesn’t fill me with hope.

  • Precursor: 32nd London Film Critics Circle Awards (2011)

    The French and English made strong showings at the London Critics awards with The Artist and several British stars claiming prizes or even American stars playing British characters. The only real surprises were Sareh Bayat for Best Supporting Actress and the tie between Meryl Streep and Anna Paquin. The rest of the choices fit the…

    Leave it to the Costume Designers Guild to throw a wrench in the works. I fully expected most of these nominees, but the exclusion of Anonymous which would usually be catnip for these guys makes no appearance. Meanwhile, most of the major Oscar contenders for Best Picture are here with the exception of Moneyball and…

  • Precursor: 19th Cinema Audio Society Nominations (2011)

    One of the moderately accurate precursors picked several films I wouldn’t have expected. I’m glad to see Hanna on this list, but the rest could be nominated or not and I wouldn’t care (I’d prefer no Super 8, but what can you do). I’m surprised not to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo here…
