  • 92nd Oscars: Upcoming Precursors – February

    Precursors to the Academy Awards come in many different types and they can appear all year from festivals and national awards to critics groups and other organization. Each month, we’ll take a look at all of the upcoming events that could have some small impact on the Oscars so you can plan out what to…

  • 2019 Precursor Predictions: Costume Designers Guild

    The Costume Designers Guild will struggle to align with Oscar because they have been uncharacteristically inaccurate, matching only two nominees at the Oscars with at least one Oscar nominee (Little Women) more likely than any of these.

  • The Rundown 2019: Makeup & Hairstyling

    For our ninth Rundown article, we look at hair and makeup. After the jump, you’ll find our winner and runner-up predictions for Best Makeup & Hairstyling as well as general commentary about the race. Tuesday, we’ll cover a handful of short films.

  • Precursor: 62nd Grammy Awards (2019)

    Once again, the Grammys say absolutely nothing about the Oscar race. Two awards went to television/streaming programs, two awards went to a 2019 film. So, toss these results and move on. The Awards Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media A Star Is Born Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media Chernobyl Best Song Written for Visual…

  • Precursor: 34th Goya Awards (2019)

    Pedro Almodovar’s Oscar nominee Pain and Glory topped this year’s Goya Awards with seven awards, including Best Film while While at War came in second with a strong 5, largely from creative categories. Award Tallies (7) Pain and Glory (5) While at War (2) The Endless Trench, Fire Will Come, Out in the Open The…

  • Precursor: 33rd USC Scripter Awards (2019)

    Another expected outcome for the evening, Little Women earned Greta Gerwig the award from USC Scripter, paving her way towards a likely Oscar win. Taking the WGA would likely lock that in. The Awards Best Adapted Screenplay Little Women (Wesley, Peter, Tripp, Thomas) USC Scripter Data Year Founded: 1988 First Awards: 1987 (33)

  • Precursor: 56th Cinema Audio Society Awards (2019)

    While the Annie Awards were busy shaking the season up, the Cinema Audio Society and others were locking it all down. Ford v Ferrari won an expected award from the CAS. Whether or not this transfers to the Oscars remains to be seen as the film’s strongest competition wasn’t nominated here. The Awards Best Sound…

  • Precursor: 72nd Directors Guild Awards (2019)

    Peaking at just the right moment, Sam Mendes’ 1917 takes the prize from the DGA, making it even more likely that the Academy will go the same direction. There’s still the possibility that Parasite can overcome, but since no foreign language film has ever done it, it would be quite surprising if that trend were…

  • Precursor: 34th Society of Cinematographers Awards (2019)

    Probably the most expected result of the night, Roger Deakins wins yet another prize from ASC for his work on 1917. Although ASC doesn’t match the Oscars much, this should be one more time that it does. The Awards Best Cinematography 1917 (Wesley, Peter, Tripp, Thomas) Spotlight Award The Lighthouse (Wesley, Peter, Tripp, Thomas) Documentary…

  • Precursor: 28th Annie Awards (2019)

    Like the Annies once treated DreamWorks, they now treat Netflix, adorning them with all but two prizes for the evening with Klaus a huge winner. This won’t likely have an impact on the Oscars. It would not be unheard of for studios to lavish fancy promotional materials on the various voters to earn their love.…
