36th European Film Awards (2023)
The European Film Awards have announced winners in their Excellence categories, the creative arts ones, the rest will be announced on 12/9. Since the nominations were out previously, I’m recapping all of it in one post. Several Oscar contenders make an appearance here, so it has some interesting things to look at. Nominations Tallies (5)…

89th New York Critics Awards (2023)
This is probably the most mainstream list this organization has put out with Killers and Oppenheimer doing well. The only left-field choice is Franz Rogowski for Best Actor, the only one of the three that isn’t likely to parlay the win into an Oscar campaign. Award Tallies (2) Killers of the Flower Moon, May December,…

33rd Gotham Awards (2023)
Not much of interest in these winners, but it sets Past Lives as one of the major players this year and suggests Anatomy of a Fall is also going to dominate critics awards while Lily Gladstone (for a different film) and Charles Melton could have stronger paths to nominations. Award Tallies (2) Anatomy of a…

14th Hollywood Music in Media Nominations & Awards (2023)
The Hollywood Music in Media Association is one of the few organizations devoted entirely to music in film. Trying to track down their nominations before the awards is sometimes difficult and they only give about two weeks from nominations announcements to awards, so I’m including both nominations and awards below. The awards were held last…

8th Critics Choice Doc Awards
I don’t have a lot to say about these as they’ve been around for a bit now, but haven’t shown any predictive prescience. Still was obviously the big winner taking five prizes and that might bolster its chances at an Oscar nomination, but the Academy is often reticent to recognize biographical documentaries, though they’ve softened…

66th Grammy Awards Nominations
Not only is it rare to get more than 3 nominations, we might have a record for number of nominations from a single movie soundtrack with four nominations alone in the song category. This is also the most current-year-centric the Grammy nominations have been in some time with only four titles from 2022 (three of…

33rd Gotham Awards Nominations
There isn’t a lot this group really tells us. Their nominating committees are tiny and unrepresentative and they are inconsistent a lot of times in their definition of independent cinema. Several films got acting nominations or other citations but were left out of the top category. That doesn’t tell us much of anything and until…

8th Critics Choice Doc Awards
The Critics Choice Association has announced their 8th annual documentary award nominations. The Documentary and Documentary Short awards are where the Oscar overlap will be. The only one of these titles that isn’t likely to carry over is Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie because of its Emmy submission/nominations. Beyond that, we’ll have to see…
