23rd New York Online Critics Nominations
Apart from the Spirit Awards, the only places that are acknowledging Carol Kane are New York-based critics. Beyond that, nothing particularly original in this list. Nominations Tallies (8) Anora (7) The Brutalist (6) Conclave, Emilia Pérez, Wicked (5) Sing Sing (4) The Substance (3) A Complete Unknown (2) Dune: Part Two, Good One, Nickel Boys,…

36th Producers Guild Documentary Nominations
The film most think is the frontrunner, Super/Man, got the nomination but the rest of these entries have been virtual nonentities all season suggesting the PGA may not be operating on all cylinders. The Nominations Best Documentary Gaucho Gaucho Mediha Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa Porcelain War Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story We…

18th Women Journalists Nominations
In spite of its Best Film nomination, Wicked was shut out of several categories, including the female screenwriter one. That doesn’t quite pass the smell test but that’s their choice. Nominations Tallies (9) Conclave, Emilia Pérez (8) Anora, The Substance (7) The Brutalist (5) All We Imagine as Light (4) Inside Out 2, Nickel Boys,…

11th Phoenix Critics Circle Nominations
Wanting to seem more high brown than many of their competitors, they don’t seem all that brazen of choices still. Nominations Tallies (8) The Brutalist (6) Anora, The Substance (5) Nosferatu (4) Conclave (3) Dune: Part Two, Nickel Boys, Sing Sing, Wicked (2) Alien: Romulus, A Complete Unknown, A Real Pain, The Wild Robot (1)…

37th Chicago Critics Awards
Chicago’s critics have put some love behind some films and performances that really need the support, but they’ve also gone for some very stereotypical choices. Awards Tallies (4) Nickel Boys (2) The Brutalist, Challengers, A Real Pain (1) All We Imagine as Light, Flow, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Hard Truths, His Three Daughters, No…

29th San Diego Critics Nominations & Awards
Every year, I seem to miss the announcement of their nominations and find them when I see their awards announced. Anyway, clear love for major Oscar contenders with extra special attention on Sing Sing. Wicked scored eight nominations but wasn’t in the Best Picture slate. Rather surprising. Nominations Tallies (12) Dune: Part Two (9) Conclave…

30th Critics Choice Nominations
The top competitors of the year so far are also the top nominees with the Critics Choice. Conclave and Wicked clearly have piqued their interest while Emilia Pérez continues to perform strongly. A Real Pain didn’t do as well as some other precursors had suggested but otherwise, this list seems on target. Nominations Tallies (11)…

64th American Cinema Editors Nominations
A very early preview of the Oscar contest with ACE coming out way in advance of others. If it hadn’t already been the end of the line for Gladiator II, this cinches it. Some major players that weren’t recognized: The Brutalist, Blitz, Juror #2, Nickel Boys, The Room Next Door, September 5, A Complete Unknown,…

9th Atlanta Critics Awards
Atlanta’s critics go gaga for Anora and The Brutalist, though it’s more consistent performances for Nickel Boys and a surprise Supporting Actress win for Ariana Grande-Butera. Awards Tallies (4) Anora (2) The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, The Wild Robot (1) Challengers, Deadpool & Wolverine, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Kneecap, A Real Pain, Sing Sing, Sugarcane,…

19th St. Louis Critics Nominations
St. Louis’ film crtics seemed to have a similar idea to Las Vegas in terms of what is going to do well with the Academy. What’s striking is that this is the best September 5 has performed so far this season, which is surprising considering the buzz that surrounded its initial release. Nominations Tallies (12)…

23rd DC Critics Awards
Spreading the love widely, DC’s critics didn’t seem to focus on one particular film over another, though it’s interesting to see The Brutalist winning a single award for directing although none of the individual parts were recognized. Award Tallies (2) Anora, A Real Pain, Conclave, The Wild Robot, Wicked (1) Blitz, The Brutalist, Challengers, Civil…

28th Las Vegas Critics Nominations
The Las Vegas critics have put together a list that looks almost passable as being the Academy’s. Anora didn’t do well here despite doing well with other groups. Is that as sign they didn’t like it or a preface to some Oscar snubs? Nominations Tallies (12) Dune: Part Two (9) Conclave, Wicked (8) The Brutalist…
-
37th Chicago Critics Nominations
With a list that looks more high brown than they are used to putting out, The Brutalist was easily the top nominee though The Substance, Anora, Nickel Boys, and Wicked did well nominations-wise. The love for Furiosa ist stronger than expected, especially with its Best Picture nomination and I Saw the TV Glow seems to…

82nd Golden Globe Nominations
The Globes seem to be going the same direction as the other two televised awards shows by going for 6 nominees in each category. The Globes already had too many bites at the Oscar-prognosticating apple and now they want more. The only major surprise so far was Payal Kapadia making it into the Best Director…

50th Los Angeles Critics Awards
This makes two of the old guard critics groups to go for Anora on the same day. This is the kind of result we would normally expect from critics groups but it’s also not a new trend being set. We’ll just have to see how some of the others (National Society of Film Critics and…
