Phoenix is picking mostly the same selections as others, though this is a rare get for The Tragedy of Macbeth picking up the Cinematography prize and for Mike Feist as Best Supporting Actor. Awards Tallies (5) The Power of the Dog (2) Licorice Pizza The Awards

Is Mass picking up steam? It’s entirely possible. The film started out pretty slowly, but has been accumulating more and more awards and nominations as the season goes along rather than less. That said, this group’s selections are mostly split between out-there selections and ones others have been making as well. So, there isn’t a…

St. Louis critics are following along with their bigger city compatriots in most ways with Ann Dowd and Mass doing far better here than they’ve down elsewhere.
