The only movie that surprises me that’s on this list is One Night in Miami. Other than being a period piece, it doesn’t seem to have any focus on older voters, who make up the AARP. I can only assume that films like Promising Young Woman and Sound of Metal didn’t do well because they…

San Francisco went for Nomadland and First Cow in big ways, giving them the lion’s share of awards while the only major studio release that picked up more than a single win was Soul. Awards Tallies (4) Nomadland (3) First Cow (2) Minari, Soul The Awards

Denver’s selections are largely in line with other precursors with the exception of their left-field Best Film and Supporting Actor choices. The Ellen Burstyn nod is a good sign for her. Awards Tallies (3) The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2) Soul The Awards

Minari was the best represented film here, but Nomadland, Soul, and The Trial of the Chicago 7 also did very well. Promising Young Woman and films with black leads did poorly, however. Da 5 Bloods, One Night in Miami, and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom are all barely mentioned, which is a bit surprising. Nominations Tallies…

A quintuple indie line up marks this set of San Francisco Bay Area critics nominations. Matter of fact, the indies just kind of run roughshod over this year’s awards in general. Nominations Tallies (7) Nomadland (6) Mank, Minari (5) First Cow (4) Da 5 Bloods, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Never Rarely Sometimes Always, One Night…

The Critics Choice Association has announced their predictions for this year’s 93rd Oscars. That should say “nominations,” but their penchant for expanding categories to make enough room for all Oscar contenders is suspicious. They aren’t infallible, but they are generally pretty accurate. Of course, getting five out of eight or nine nominations to match is…

Washington DC made some pretty standard selections, choosing a slate of winners that is almost entirely duplicated in part by other groups. Awards Tallies (5) Nomadland (3) Soul (2) Minari, One Night in Miami The Awards

Minari does surprisingly well with the Seattle film critics while The Trial of the Chicago 7 and One Nigh in Miami do disappointingly. Ma Rainey’s picked up a few citations, as did Da 5 Bloods, but neither were in Best Picture while Judas and the Black Messiah was. Nominations Tallies (8) Minari (6) First Cow,…

Although the uniquely American feel and setting of Nomadlan doesn’t seem like the kind of thing British critics would go for, it still pulled in three awards, though the loss of Best Director to Steve McQueen for a program that was released on the BBC rather than in theaters, should tell us that they didn’t…

DC Critics loved Minari and Nomadland, giving them tons of recognition while almost entirely ignoring this year’s Spike Lee joint. Nominations Tallies (8) Minari (6) Nomadland (5) Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Mank, One Night in Miami (4) News of the World, Promising Young Woman, Soul Sound of Metal, Tenet, The Trial of the Chicago 7…

Toronto loves Nomadland, making it the only film they honored with multiple awards. Other than Daniel Kaluuya, many of their selections have been made elsewhere already. Awards Tallies (3) Nomadland The Awards
