Precursor: 4th Philadelphia Critics Awards (2020)
Philadelphia’s film critics have to be the farthest outside the mainstream with their selections this year. While I applaud their approach to diversity, it’s hard to fathom how Ma Rainey’s Bottom could win the Best Picture award when even the other stage-to-screen adaptation, One Night in Miami, is significantly better. Awards Tallies (2) Da 5…

Precursor: 41st London Critics Nominations (2020)
The first thing to remember about the London Critics is that they have separate awards for British & Irish actors and productions. This inevitably sways the tallies towards those kinds of films. The second is that their eligibility period is slightly wider, as any film that releases in the UK prior to the end of…

This might be the farthest outside of the norm they’ve ever been. The Awards Best Feature Nomadland Best Actor Riz Ahmed – Sound of…

We had one film release this past weekend with the potential for Oscar nominations.

It’s entirely possible that both One Night in Miami and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom both…
