Precursor: 12th Houston Critics Nominations (2018)
A strong showing for The Favourite thanks to its three acting nominations, but Black Panther and If Beale Street Could Talke also delivered strong numbers. Not a lot of divergence here from what we’ve already seen. Nominations Tallies (7) The Favourite (6) Black Panther, If Beale Street Could Talk (5) A Star is Born, Vice…

Precursor: 13th St. Louis Critics Awards (2018)
Giving A Star Is Born Best Picture, but no other awards (a runner-up mention in Best Actress was the closest it came), is a rather unusual move considering most critics groups tend to put a lot of awards onto films they award Best Picture (or at least more than one or two). BlacKkKlansman did incredibly…

Precursor: 52nd Kansas City Critics Awards (2018)
Hedging a few of its bets, Kansas City’s film critics have gone down a familiar path with their selections with Amy Adams being the only slightly atypical choice they’ve made. Award Tallies (3) The Favourite, Roma (2) Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Vice The Awards

Precursor: 7th Boston Online Critics Awards (2018)
We’ve seen You Were Never Really Here referenced before this precursor season, but never with such forceful adoration. The film performed far better than expected. Looking over the choices of the Boston online critics and you’ll see a more eclectic bunch of winners that aren’t necessarily frontrunners, though some are. Award Tallies (4) You Were…

Precursor: 19th Vancouver Critics Nominations (2018)
One of the few groups that reward fewer than five nominees in each category, Vancouver’s film critics have picked a ton of major Oscar competitors for recognition, along with a few not-so-contending selections. On the Canadian film side, Roads in February and Edge of the Knife were the dominant films. Nominations Tallies (6) The Favourite,…

Precursor: 22nd Las Vegas Critics Awards (2018)
Another chapter of the Roma show comes to a close with five awards going to Alfonso Cuaron’s black-and-white feature. A Star Is Born did well as well. Nothing particularly exciting jumps out of this particular list. Award Tallies (5) Roma (4) A Star Is Born (2) A Quiet Place The Awards
