Precursor: 28th USC Scripter Nominations (2014)
With the Writers Guild of America increasingly stingy with its nominations (only to guild members and products made under a WGA contract), the precursor that seems best at predicting the Adapted Screenplay category at the Oscars is the USC Libraries and their annual Scripter Awards. Recognizing the screenwriter and the source material author, the Scripter…

Precursor: 17th Costume Designers Guild Nominations (2014)
Unlike the Art Directors Guild, the Costumers got behind a few more interesting picks. Selma finally makes it to the guild rounds. I can’t see any major omissions here, though Belle missing the list is a bit surprising. That’s the type of small period film this group usually goes for. Not a single one of…

Precursor: 67th Writers Guild Nominations (2014)
Knowing that half the major Oscar contenders weren’t even eligible for the WGA awards (not made under WGA-sanctioned contracts or by WGA members), it’s unsurprising to see something like Guardians of the Galaxy sneak into Best Adapted Screenplay when it has no hope at the Oscars. Don’t read much into these considering the ineligible contenders,…

Precursor: 29th Cinematographers Guild Nominations (2014)
A list that excludes Interstellar is ok by me, though including The Imitation Game, which is journeyman work at best, seems like a slap in the face to so many other great cinematographers this year, including those for Ida and Nightcrawler who got quite a bit of attention this year. Don’t read too much into…

Looking at the Weekend: Jan. 9-11, 2015
There isn’t much new coming out in these early months. Taken 3 will be the film to dislodge The Hobbit from the top of the box office, but whether it can match its predecessors remains to be seen. Individual Commentaries Wesley Lovell: Beloved Sisters might be good, but it won’t be in my neck of…

Precursor: 9th Oklahoma Critics Awards (2014)
Seeing the same results over and over again give these small regional critics problems since everyone’s heard the narrative and have moved on to the more obvious precursors. Still, this group gives out some interesting other awards, though I don’t particularly like the term Guilty Pleasure, especially when applied to a film that is aesthetically…

The DVD Report #394
New This Week DVD discs have been around since 1995, Blu-ray discs since 2006, yet there are still important films that have never been released in either format and a number of prior DVD releases that cry out for the superior picture and sound of Blu-ray that have yet to be upgraded to the newer…
