42nd Casting Society Awards
Nothing terribly exciting here. Of the five Oscar nominees for Best Casting, only three were nominated from CSA and those were all competing against each other in the Big Budget Drama Casting category. There, Sinners won and that’s the most likely Oscar winner as well though One Battle After Another, its biggest competitor, was not…

Predictions: Casting Society of America
This is our first year forecasting the Casting Society of America Awards since it’s the first year of the Casting award. Since we haven’t predicted before, these guesses could be way off.

Predictions: Visual Effects Society
With the VES, you can usually see a sweep coming. It’s very likely to go to one film alone but any weakness shown by said film could suggest a shift in interests at the Oscars.

66th British Academy Awards
Before BAFTA started announcing winners prior to the Oscars, they were idiosyncratic to the extreme. Although the nominees this year came after the Oscars, their awards come before, and their uniqueness comes through strongly this year. Let’s start with the surprises. Robert Aramayo picking up Best Actor over Oscar nominees Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael…

Predictions: Set Decorators Society
A secondary group to the Art Directors Guild, the Set Decorators Society still gives us an idea of what will be popular with the Academy and by comparing this and the ADG, you can probably get a good guess of the eventual Production Design Oscar winner.

Predictions: Annie Awards
The primary predictor of the Animated Feature Oscar, the Annies are not the most accurate but they usually have some insight into the Oscar race.
