  • Precursor: 19th Costume Designers Guild Awards (2016)

    When La La Land pulled off a surprising record-tying 14-nomination haul at the Oscars (it ties with All About Eve and Titanic for most nominations ever), the next question that popped up was whether it could possibly top or tie the current crown holders for most wins: Ben-Hur, Titanic, and The Lord of the Rings:…

  • Precursor: 69th Writers Guild Awards (2016)

    One thing’s for certain. Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars is a lock for Moonlight. Beating out the Kenneth Lonergan, the frontrunner in Original Screenplay, suggests Manchester by the Sea is weak; however, it’s really the strength of Moonlight that it suggests. This means a knock-down fight between La La Land and Manchester by the Sea,…
