  • Oscar in Box Office History (Week 11, 2022)

    Every week, we’ll take a look back in 5-year intervals at the box office past to explore how Oscar’s nominees were doing at the box office each weekend historically. The first section under each year is the positioning of all Oscar nominees during that weekend at the box office (as well as a section looking…

  • 2021 Precursor Predictions: American Society of Cinematographers

    Having influence over the Best Cinematography category at the Oscars, the ASC has split quite often with the Academy and might be one of the oldest organizations to do so on a frequent basis. Will they be able to forecast the Oscar victor between Dune and The Power of the Dog? We shall see.

  • 2021 Precursor Predictions: Writers Guild of America

    With so many exclusions at the WGA, their prognosticative capabilities are minimal, but we still look to them for potential trends.

  • 2021 Precursor Predictions: Cinema Audio Society

    Of the two sound-related categories that got axed, this was the one that remained. While nominally inclusive of the sound editing folks, everyone pays attention to the Cinema Audio Society for direction instead since the nominations this year seem very much in tune with what they would pick and/or nominate.

  • 2021 Precursor Predictions: Producers Guild of America

    While the PGA is a relative neophyte compared to the likes of the DGA and WGA, it is has still forecast a handful of Best Picture victories, so keep an eye on them, but remember that they don’t always pick the winner, especially if it’s a fluky selection.

  • Precursor: 2nd Critics Choice Super Awards (2021)

    The Critics Choice Association never misses an opportunity to show their cool side and these selections seem like an attempt to do that with some unusual choices thrown in. Andrew Garfield, Dev Patel, and Agathe Rousselle make that clear. Awards Tallies (3) Spider-Man: No Way Home (2) Dune, No Time to Die The Awards

  • Precursor: 13th GALECA Awards (2021)

    A rather lackluster list of winners and proof why nonbinary acting categories aren’t effective. Ten nominees, one winner in each category and both are women. Flee was a better LGBTQ film than The Power of the Dog, but The Power of the Dog was the better film? These selections are pretty meh. AwardsTallies (4) Flee…

  • Oscar Profile #590: John Ford Revisited

    Today is St. Patrick’s Day. No one in the history of film symbolizes St. Patrick’s Day, and the Irish in general, more than John Martin Feeney, known professionally as John Ford. Contrary to public perception, Ford was not born in Ireland, but in in Cape Elizabeth, Maine on February 1, 1894. One of eleven children…
