Precursor: 11th GALECA Awards (2019)
When even the society of LGBTQ film critics goes for a film that doesn’t have a single LGBTQ character in it, you know it has to be popular. Parasite‘s win is a bit surprising. It’s dominance is quite shocking. Some of the winners are unexpected (Antonio Banderas and Song Kang-ho), but most of them are…

2019 Summer Season Preview Wrap-Up: July
Below is a wrap-up of the predictions I made several months ago, an exploration of what succeeded and what failed, and how I observe things to have gone. July 3, 2019 Midsommar Oscar Prospects: What I said: “Uncertain. Could lightning strike twice for Aster? His last film didn’t score any Oscar nominations, but critics gave…

Looking at the Weekend: Jan. 10-12, 2020
With three new wide releases, the question is whether Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker can hold on to the top spot for a fourth week or if Like a Boss, Underwater, The Informer (which looks to have been pulled from the release calendar yet again), or one of the expanding releases (1917 or Just…

Precursor: 11th Denver Film Critics Nominations (2019)
With more information at hand, the Denver Film Critics Society has made some unique choices, ignoring Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman in the major categories in favor of Jojo Rabbit and Little Women, neither of which had gotten nearly as much support. The Farewell also did incredibly well without a Best Film nomination. Award Tallies (6)…

Precursor: 18th Visual Effects Society Nominations (2019)
The Visual Effects Society is a great predictor of the Visual Effects Oscar. Typically, if you combine their main and supporting visual effects categories together, you get the eventual Oscar nominees. To that in, Alita: Battle Angel, The Lion King, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker come out the best here with the most…

Precursor: 72nd Directors Guild Nominations (2019)
Three major shocking omissions and a shocking inclusion make this year’s DGA nominations both indicative and unrepresentative. First, the omissions. Neither Greta Gerwig nor Todd Phillips made the DGA main line-up, which is both disheartening (Gerwig) and surprising (Phillips). In their place is Taika Waitit who no one thought would be a major player in…

New This Week The Peanut Butter Falcon, Wild Rose, and Luce are three under-the-radar films that have factored into year-end 2019 awards but are not considered major players in this year’s Oscar race.

Precursor: 31st Producers Guild Nominations (2019)
The Producers Guild of America has been 80% in tune with the Academy’s selections over the years and this list makes perfect sense in that regard. Most of this year’s top films are nominated with Uncut Gems and Portrait of a Lady on Fire the only titles notably absent. You could drop Ford and Knives…
