Precursor: 2nd Los Angeles Online Critics Awards (2018)
The first of surprisingly many prizes for The Hate U Give, though few of those were Best Picture wins, the rest of the list seems a bit familiar, though the distinction between male and female directors is an interesting one. Award Tallies (4) The Hate U Give (3) Eighth Grade (2) Avengers: Infinity War, Hereditary,…

Precursor: 15th Women Critics Nominations (2018)

Award Tallies (8) Widows (4) The Favourite, 55 Steps, The Hate U Give, The Kindergarten Teacher, Leave No Trace, Roma…

Precursor: 17th San Francisco Critics Nominations (2018)
As the precursor season continues, nominations lists tend to look more uniform. The same names and titles keep showing up and this group is no different. While the configurations aren’t identical, the end results are similar enough to feel rote. If Beale Street Could Talk has its best showing to date with Roma and The…

Precursor: 31st Chicago Critics Nominations (2018)
The first organization to put Olivia Colman in support, where some think she belongs, is also the first not to nominate Emma Stone as well. I guess there’s only room in the category for two actresses from The Favourite. Roma‘s leading 9 nominations is the top story in these nominations because it’s the best the…

Precursor: 23rd San Diego Critics Nominations (2018)
If it weren’t for their heavy support of Green Book, it would almost look like San Diego’s film critics were trying to avoid titles that have been commonplace throughout awards season so far. Few mentions of Roma and A Star Is Born and none for BlacKkKlansman or If Beale Street Could Talk. These nominations are…

Precursor: 61st Grammy Awards Nominations (2018)
What’s most striking about this list of nominees is that A Star Is Born didn’t pick up a compilation soundtrack nomination when it clearly seemed a strong contender. Apart from that, there’s not a lot you can say about these. The year-straddling deadlines mean that 2017 releases compete with 2018 releases. As an example, in…
