Precursor: 42nd London Critics Nominations (2021)
There are two things we always note with awards from the London Critics. The first is that their release windows vary slightly from the US in most case (or drastically in some others).

It’s either a lack of exposure or a lack of diversity. Nominations Tallies (7) West Side Story (4) The Green Knight (3)…

Precursor: 34th Chicago Critics Awards (2021)
Winning all but one of its 8 nominations, The Power of the Dog absolutely dominated this year’s Chicago Film Critics awards. Not much else to say here, but it looks like Jane Campion’s film is heading towards a solid run through the precursors towards at least Campion’s win of Best Directing at the Oscars if…

Precursor: 37th Spirit Award Nominations (2021)
The Spirit Awards had taken a populist turn in recent years, but they’ve snapped back to their obscure references, giving Zola its most citations, recognizing Oscar contenders The Lost Daughter and C’mon C’mon in minor ways, but ultimately saying they won’t be beholden to popular titles. As such, the likes of Olivia Colman and Joaquin…

Precursor: 13th Indiana Critics Nominations (2021)
