    Box Office History (Week 7, 2025)

    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…

    65th British Academy Awards

    BAFTA voters have confirmed some of our suspicions but also thrown a gear into the works of several categories. Three of the four acting winners are likely to repeat at the Oscars, though if Brody loses at SAG, that could create a different narrative. Conclave proved more appealing than Anora, which makes sense considering the…

    While there are some similarities to the Golden Globes, there are quite a few differences. Interesting that Anora won the comedy category but won nothing else while Wicked came out on top for the number of awards but didn’t get a top prize. Strange times.

There Will Be Blood and Lincoln have similar profiles with the former winning the ADG and the latter not. This doesn’t tell us which…
