Precursor: 20th Utah Critics Awards (2021)
There’s not a lot to say about these awards except that they were mostly like other groups with some very bizarre selections (such as The Mitchells vs. the Machines for Best Original Screenplay). Either they didn’t get to see all of the film or personal predilections got in the way of films like Licorice Pizza,…

Precursor: 47th Los Angeles Critics Awards (2021)
The Los Angeles Film Critics Association have tried to one-up the New York Film Critics Circle in just how far outside the mainstream they can go.

Precursor: 5th Online Female Critics Nominations (2021)
Although The Power of the Dog easily led the nominations count, Benedict Cumberbatch was curiously missing from the list. Beyond that, Titane came out of this list with more nominations than The Worst Person in the World while the latter film is the one that made the Best Picture slate. A lot of out of…

Precursor: 25th Florida Critics Nominations (2021)
The Power of the Dog was clearly dominant in these nominations, but Annette did incredibly well too. Strangely, Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy did better with this group than did his Drive My Car. Definitely an outlier there. Nominations Tallies (9) The Power of the Dog (7) Annette (6) West Side Story (4)…

Precursor: 42nd London Critics Nominations (2021)
There are two things we always note with awards from the London Critics. The first is that their release windows vary slightly from the US in most case (or drastically in some others). Further, they have their own British/Irish slate of categories, which often bolsters the chances of those productions and the home territory advantage…

Many films have memorable Christmas scenes, but few are so intricately connected to the holiday that they wouldn’t be as memorable as they are without those scenes. The first film with a significant emphasis on Christmas to capture Oscar’s attention was George Cukor’s 1933 version of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, the first of four…
