61st Publicists Guild Film Nominations
While not a particular accurate forecaster of the Oscars, they are an interesting option. Can anyone other than Barbie win? Not likely. The Nominations Maxwell Weinberg Publicist Showmanship Motion Picture Air Barbie John Wick: Chapter 4 The Little Mermaid Maestro Oppenheimer Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Les Mason Award, the…

38th Society of Cinematographers Nominations
The big surprise is El Conde, which was seldom mentioned as a possibility, but consider it’s Edward Lachman and it’s in black-and-white, it seems kind of like a no-brainer now. That said, it isn’t something too likely to carry over to the Oscars. Barbie is the clear loser here, but its cinematographer, Rodrigo Prieto, was…

51st Annie Awards Nominations
These nominations mostly confirm our thoughts. Super Mario Bros. looked like it wasn’t going to get a nomination at the Oscars and these nominations bare that out with the film earning a single nomination for voice acting. That’s a pretty abysmal result. Not too surprisingly, Nimona came out on top of the nominations. Netflix has…

Sorry I’m a bit late on this one, but here it is. There was a lot of hand-wringing in the last couple of years since the inclusion initiatives were started about all the films that would be disqualified. Sure, 56 films not featuring in Best Picture is a large number, but none of the major…

76th Directors Guild Nominations
The DGA sometimes throws predictors off with its selections and Alexander Payne is that candidate this year. The other four were clearly expected, but Payne wasn’t. It’s not surprising, just not what’s expected. Celine Song likely got hindered by being up for the First Feature nomination, but that’s not exclusionary, so she was seriously injured…
