Precursor: 8th Detroit Critics Awards (2014)
A most dominant day for Boyhood, which reigned supreme with Detroit critics taking four prizes. Their results consist of largely the same names that have been showing up all season. The three-way tie in the ensemble category gives us our first major victory for Guardians of the Galaxy, a dark horse contender for a Best…

Precursor: 18th Florida Critics Nominations (2014)
Restricting their nominations to 3 per category creates a shortlist of potential Oscar contenders that could be insightful into what critics want when it comes to Oscar recognition. While there are several films that could also have been included, we may be seeing the best case minimum scenario in several categories. Nominations Tallies (8) Birdman…

Precursor: 35th London Critics Nominations (2014)
Even if you exclude the two nominations for British Films-only categories, Mr. Turner did better on average than most other films. With Mr. Turner widely available in the UK, but not in the U.S., this may explain why it’s done so well with London. Either that, or there’s a British bias, which is also possible.…

Precursor: 27th Chicago Critics Awards (2014)
Chicago is carrying forward the Boyhood narrative that’s dominating precursor season, but as The Social Network, L.A. Confidential and others proved, dominance with the critics does not mean dominance with the Academy. There aren’t any major surprises here. Award Tallies (3) Boyhood, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Whiplash (2) Birdman The Awards

Precursor: 18th Toronto Critics Awards (2014)
Apart from Boyhood, Toronto spread its love among several films, few of which were new selections among precursors. The Lunchbox was a surprising first feature selection while The Overnighters beat out one of the Oscar frontrunners. They will announce their Best Canadian Film award on December 14 and this year, they have a surprisingly dense…

Precursor: 14th Phoenix Critics Awards (2014)
Keira Knightley secures her first precursor win for The Imitation Game, the lone true surprise among the more recognizable categories. Documentary Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me is a bit unusual for a selection, but not one that has me scratching my head. Award Tallies (6) Birdman (3) Gone Girl, The Grand Budapest Hotel (2) Edge…

Precursor: 13th San Francisco Critics Awards (2014)
For the second year running, San Francisco announced their nominations at the same time as their awards, making things look more favorable to Birdman in nomination count, but giving Boyhood more prizes. As precursor season wears on, the number of unique selections dwindle, but they are one of the few groups that have given quite…

Precursor: 6th Indiana Critics Awards (2014)
Indiana couldn’t find any new ground to break, so they introduced a new award for motion capture/vocal performance and gave it to Andy Serkis (because who else are you going to give it to or nominate?). Their selections were mostly in line with what other groups have done with Locke and St. Vincent doing better…
