Precursor: 22nd Costume Designers Guild Nominations (2019)
The biggest surprise omission here is Little Women, while something as generally tradition as The Irishman was ignored as was 1917. That said, this list doesn’t carry any real surprises as many of the top contenders are here and Disney has once again dominated with all five slots in the Fantasy category. The Awards

Precursor: 27th Cinema Audio Society Nominations (2019)
The biggest news here is the absence of 1917. War films are often thought to be major players with this group.

Oscar Preview: Weekend of Dec. 6-8, 2019
We had three films release this past weekend with the potential for Oscar nominations.

That said, he’s only directed seven movies previously, so he’s just a little over 50%. Dark…
