32nd Screen Actors Guild Nominations
One Battle After Another, as expected, dominated the nominations while Sinners and Marty Supreme did surprisingly well.

Meanwhile, Joel Edgerton, Wagner Moura, Dwayne Johnson, Cynthia Erivo, Jennifer Lawrence, Amanda Seyfried, Delroy Lindo, Adam Sandler, Gwyneth Paltrow, and the…

4th UK Critics Nominations
Their release window being different than the U.S., that explains the presence of two 2025 films and one that hasn’t been released stateside yet. The rest are pretty well expected nominees with the first showing for Kaouther Ben Hania and The Voice of Hind Rajab (at least recently). Nominations Tallies (7) One Battle After Another…

10th Hawaii Critics Nominations
32 categories for such a small organization. Doesn’t seem necessary. They are also so small that their idiosyncrasies can secure nominations for otherwise ignored Seyfried in The Housemaid, though they largely stay with the current conventional wisdom in terms of nominations. Nominations Tallies (14) One Battle After Another, Sinners (10) Frankenstein (7) Sentimental Value (6)…

Box Office History (Week 1, 2026)
Every week, we’ll take a look back at how Oscar-nominated films performed at the box office. Due to the lack of data prior to 1980, some of these early years may have minimal information. From the mid-1990s back to 1980, the data exists, but is sometimes spotty. Everything after that should be accurate. We’ll look…
