Jordan, Michael Keaton, Helen Mirren, John Mulaney, Tyler Perry, Pharrell Williams, Krysten Ritter,…

    As the precursor awards continue unabated until Oscar night, I’m going to be providing a weekly update highlighting the films that have won and lost momentum through the precursor awards (and in some cases other outside influences).

  • 2018 Precursor Predictions: Costume Designers Guild

  • Precursor: 66th Sound Editors Guild Awards (2018)

    A night of few surprises, A Quiet Place won the traditional effects/foley category while dialogue/ADR went to Bohemian Rhapsody. Rhapsody also picked up the musical category, but the surprise (to some, but not to those who’ve actually seen it) win was Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which not only took the expected animation feature category, but…

  • Precursor: 71st Writers Guild Awards (2018)

    Never content to leave a race predictable. The Writers Guild of America, already with the most unusual, arcane rules of all of the guilds, went out on a limb not once, but twice. Eighth Grade beats all the odds and triumphed over Oscar-nominated scripts by familiar names. Can You Ever Forgive Me? did the same.…
