  • 2020 Precursor Predictions: American Cinema Editors

    While Oscar pools might not hinge on a correct prediction in this category, it will be interesting to see how many go for traditional, for history, or for off-kilter.

  • 2020 Precursor Predictions: Motion Picture Sound Editors

    The best linked category to the Best Sound award at the Oscars will either be the start of a new conversation or the end of it. Will Sound of Metal win or will there be a surprise. We shall see.

  • 2020 Precursor Predictions: American Society of Cinematographers

    And now it’s time for the best broadcast awards show that you probably aren’t watching.
