  • 95th Oscar Nominations

    A couple of big surprises. The whisper campaign for Andrea Riseborough paid off, but at the expensive two Black actors (Viola Davis & Danielle Deadwyler). Top Gun: Maverick didn’t make it into Cinematography, one of its strongest chances at a win. Decision to Leave wasn’t nominated for Best International Feature. Beyond that, there were minor…

  • Precursor: 43rd Golden Raspberry Nominations (2022)

    Andrew Dominik’s exposé of Marilyn Monroe was lambasted by critics for everything except Ana de Armas’ performance, which got an Oscar nomination. The Razzies have also roasted the film giving it plenty of citations (thankfully not for de Armas). It’s always fascinating when an Oscar nominee also shows up here, though a lot of their…

  • Oscar Morning: The Article (2022)

    Every year, I try to decide if I want to stick to my tradition or go in a new direction. At over 6,000 words last year, and with very little time left this year, I’ve had to consider what’s best for me and for you. That many words is hard to read and I suspect…

  • Precursor: 23rd Vancouver Critics Nominations (2022)

    Vancouver loves their Canadian films, which always get the most nominations, but strangely Women Talking didn’t do terribly well compared to the other nominees.

Nominations Tallies (9) Riceboy Sleeps (7) The Banshees of Inisherin, Everything Everywhere…
