1st Michigan Critics Guild Awards (2023)
Another example of a small group result, there are two ties on the list. Most of the choices seem conventional with Anatomy of a Fall‘s screenplay win the only surprising result. Awards Tallies (3) Barbie (1) American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, John Wick: Chapter 4, Migration, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part…

23rd American Film Institute Top Ten (2023)
The most interesting thing to say about this list is that it feels a bit vanilla. Sure, these are all largely acclaimed films, but other than Spider-Man, there are no shocking inclusions. Some of the major Oscar players that aren’t listed are Air and The Color Purple. The former really needed this posting to remain…

51st Saturn Award Nominations
Avatar: The Way of Water was dominant, but Barbenheimer also did quite well. Very niche choices here and nothing that will impact the Oscars. Award Tallies (12) Avatar: The Way of Water (11) Oppenheimer (9) Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (8) Barbie (7) Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 (5) The Menu, Renfield…

7th Hollywood Creative Alliance Nominations (2023)
While Barbenheimer dominates, several promising performers appear on this list. A lot of names all show up that had been largely written off. They have far too many categories and their sorting on their website is inconsistent (though mostly frustrating). Award Tallies (15) Barbie (14) Oppenheimer (10) Killers of the Flower Moon, Spider-Man: Across the…

95th National Board of Review Awards (2023)
The National Board of Review is one of the weaker Oscar predictors of the major players, but getting citations can still generate buzz for your performance. This certainly helps both Giamatti and Ruffalo while potential streaks seem to be building around Lily Gladstone in her seemingly successful gambit to switch to lead and around Da’Vine…

Looking at the Weekend: Dec. 8-10, 2023
This weekend’s sole wide release is a Hayao Miyazaki film, The Boy and the Heron. Miyazaki’s films, though popular, have never been so at the box office, so a top ten placement is even questionable, though with so many bombs lately, it could make it anyway. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that…
