  • Oscar Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 13

    As the precursor awards continue unabated until Oscar night, I’m going to be providing a weekly update highlighting the films that have won and lost momentum through the precursor awards (and in some cases other outside influences).

  • Precursor: 61st Grammy Awards (2018)

    For the first time in quite some years, the Grammy winners have an actual chance of matching or predicting the Oscar winners. Both of this year’s Oscar-corresponding categories are 2018 releases rather than releases from a prior year. Although Black Panther will likely lose to not-yet-eligible If Beale Street Could Talk, “Shallow” is currently the…

  • Precursor: 60th British Academy Awards (2018)

    The winners have been announced. Other than a couple of surprises in categories like Adapted Screenplay, Original Music, and Editing the Oscar frontrunners are either winning consistently or solidifying.

  • Precursor: 33rd Society of Cinematographers Awards (2018)

    Although it will have no bearing on the Oscar outcome, the American Society of Cinematographers have deemed a director who lensed his own movie without the help of an actual cinematographer lost to an actual cinematographer. Alfson Cuaron will probably still win the Oscar because those voters don’t care if he used a member to…
