Precursor: 61st British Academy Nominations (2019)
What to think about the British Academy’s selections this year? The first caveat we always have is any film that nominated in the British film categories should be taken with a grain of salt when it appears in the main categories. Rocketman and The Two Popes were likely over-represented in those major categories, especially considering…

Precursor: 4th Hawaii Critics Nominations (2019)
This group had only four members last year. This year they have seven. There are some idiosyncratic choices here, but a lot of the key players in Oscar season are here. The poor showing of Little Women might have something to do with the men-only membership. Award Tallies (12) Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood…

Precursor: 23rd Online Critics Awards (2019)
While the rubber stamp has been used by countless groups this season, this is one of the large organizations of film critics out there, giving them a bit of clarity as larger bodies tend to gravitate towards more popular films and thus have a better chance of mirroring the Academy. Award Tallies (6) Parasite (2)…

Precursor: 72nd Directors Guild Doc Nominations (2019)
The only noteworthy omission here is Apollo 11, which has been largely dominating the awards circuit this year. Whether this means anything or not is uncertain. It certainly improves these films’ chances. The Awards Best Documentary Director American Factory The Cave Maiden Honeyland One Child Nation Directors Guild of America Data Year Founded: 1936 First…

Precursor: 72nd Writers Guild Nominations (2019)
With the standard caveat that several Oscar contenders are ineligible by guild rules and some original screenplays were submitted as adapted, this list looks largely like the one we expect to see at the Oscars with Booksmart the only title that hasn’t been bandied about as a potential nominee. The Awards Best Original Screenplay Booksmart…

Precursor: 61st BAFTA Rising Star Nominations (2019)
This year’s diverse batch of Rising Star nominees is a heavy-hitting list of actors, none of whom were in huge films this year. The Awards Rising Star Award Awkwafina Kaitlyn Dever Kelvin Harrison Jr. Michael Ward Jack Lowden British Academy of Film & Television Arts Data Year Founded: 1947 First Awards: 1959 (61)

Oscar Preview: On Hiatus
As usual, through Oscar season (January and February), my regular weekly look at the Oscar chances of the films releasing on the prior weekend is put on hold. The reason for this is twofold. The first is that things are incredibly hectic during this period and extra content becomes difficult. The second reason is that…

Oscar Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 7
As the precursor awards continue unabated until Oscar night, I’m going to be providing a weekly update highlighting the films that have won and lost momentum through the precursor awards (and in some cases other outside influences). The Golden Globe Awards dominate this past week of precursor revelations giving 1917 a huge boost while deflating…

Precursor: 2nd Latino Journalists Nominations (2019)
With a small dose of extra Hispanic acknowledgement, the Latino Entertainment Journalists Association have stuck with most of what we’ve seen so far in the precursors and little else. Nominations Tallies (10) The Irishman (8) 1917 (7) Monos, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (6) Hustlers, Marriage Story, Parasite, The Two Popes (5) The Farewell,…

Precursor: 77th Golden Globe Awards (2019)
Televised Awards Season begins now. For now until Oscar night, a new televised precursor will air. That said, we’ve got this one precursor starting everything off with a bang. Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood was the dominant film with three awards, but it was 1917 that shocked with a win for Best Drama and…
