37th USC Scripter Awards
Another expected prize. Is this where the Oscars will go? Seems more and more certain at this point. The Awards Best Adapted Screenplay American Fiction (Wesley, Peter, Thomas) USC Scripter Data Year Founded: 1988 First Awards: 1987 (37)

31st Cinema Audio Society Awards

Predictions: USC Scripter
With the Writers Guild of America abdicating its position (ceremony after the Oscars) as a precursor (a poor one truth be told), our best precursor for Best Adapted Screenplay is now the USC Scripter prize. USC SCRIPTER AWARDS Best Adapted Screenplay American Fiction (Wesley, Peter, Thomas) Killers of the Flower Moon Oppenheimer (RU:Wesley, RU:Peter, RU:Thomas)…

Predictions: American Cinema Editors
The Best Film Editing award gets surprisingly little precursor action in spite of it being one of the most important aspects of a film’s success or failure. Thankfully, we have the American Cinema Editors to give us a hand. AMERICAN CINEMA EDITORS AWARDS Best Drama Editing Anatomy of a Fall (Peter, RU:Wesley, RU:Thomas) Killers of…

Predictions: American Society of Cinematographers
When looking at Best Cinematography, this group is one of the best precursors. AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CINEMATOGRAPHERS AWARDS Best Cinematography El Conde Maestro Killers of the Flower Moon (RU:Peter, RU:Thomas) Poor Things (RU:Wesley) Oppenheimer (Wesley, Peter, Thomas) Wesley Lovell: Oppenheimer has been dominating this award all season. I see no reason for it to stop.…

Predictions: Motion Picture Sound Editors
The other Best Sound feeder is the Motion Picture Sound Editors. After the Sound Editing category was removed, it was rolled into Best Sound and Sound Editors are now nominated alongside Mixers. We still look at their results for clues, especially if they align with the Cinema Audio Society. MOTION PICTURE SOUND EDITORS AWARDS Best…

Predictions: Cinema Audio Society
When looking at the Best Sound category, the Cinema Audio Society is one of two precursors that might reveal Oscar voters’ thinking. CINEMA AUDIO SOCIETY AWARDS Best Sound Mixing – Live Action Barbie Ferrari Killers of the Flower Moon (RU:Peter) Maestro (RU:Wesley, RU:Thomas) Oppenheimer (Wesley, Peter, Thomas) Wesley Lovell: Oppenheimer should make a clean sweep…

7th Hollywood Creative Alliance Awards
These flew well under the radar, which is the concern when groups separate out their creative arts awards. Not much to see here. Award Tallies (3) Barbie, Oppenheimer (1) John Wick: Chapter 4, Maestro, Poor Things, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse The Awards Best Score Oppenheimer Best Editing John Wick: Chapter 4 Best Cinematography Oppenheimer Best…

15th GALECA Awards
These winners will mostly come as a surprise to no one. If they are going to pick the same film for both Film of the Year (International, Documentary, etc.) and the LGBTQ version of the same category, having two categories is kind of pointless. Award Tallies (3) All of Us Strangers (2) Anatomy of a…

35th Producers Guild Awards
Nothing terribly surprising this year. The Awards Best Picture Oppenheimer (Wesley, Peter, Thomas) Best Animated Feature Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (Wesley, RU:Peter) Best Documentary American Symphony (RU:Wesley, RU:Peter) Producers Guild of America Data Year Founded: 1950 Film; 1957 TV; 1962 Unified First Awards: 1989 (35)

30th Screen Actors Guild Awards
With the final precursor in several categories, the Oscar winners may well be set. Each of the leads needed this award to win the Oscar and they got it. Murphy and Gladstone are still in a tight race with Giamatti and Stone but, in the end, this will likely carry over 100% to the Oscars.…
