The Grammy winners we care about are always announced prior to the show. Here are those winners with Barbie out front with two. It’s possible Barbie picks up more wins throughout the night since the film has several nominations not just in these four categories. Award Tallies (2) Barbie The Awards Best Song Written for…

Vancouver’s critics have also put together their annual Canadian nominations, which were announced on the same dame but took time to filter out. Nominations Tallies (6) BlackBerry, Seagrass (3) Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person, I Used to Be Funny, Seven Veils, To Kill a Tiger (1) Anything for Fame, The Burning Season, Close to…

The Latino Entertainment Journalists Association, which has allowed its website to lapse making it difficult to come across these, put Barbie barely on top over Oppenheimer thanks to its three song citations. Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon also did well with Society of the Snow performing well in limited release. Award Tallies…

KC’s film critics were big on Oppenheimer like most groups. And they seemed to rank Killers of the Flower Moon second in nearly every category. Award Tallies (6) Oppenheimer (2) Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers (1) 20 Days in Mariupol, All of Us Strangers, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret., Godzilla Minus One,…

It’s no surprise that The Color Purple dominated these nominations. The overperformance of Rustin and They Cloned Tyrone, however, was not expected. There are also several TV programs in the below list because some of the categories are for both TV and film. As such, the nominations tallies for those titles are not accurate of…

All of the Oscar nominees are here, so there isn’t much to say about the nominations. The Awards Best Drama Editing Anatomy of a Fall Killers of the Flower Moon Maestro Oppenheimer Past Lives Best Comedy/Musical Editing Air American Fiction Barbie The Holdovers Poor Things Best Animation Editing Elemental Nimona Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse The…

The Razzies always punch down and there’s nothing here I wouldn’t have expected. Though, I’m really surprised there wasn’t a single nomination for Sound of Freedom. That’s the kind of movie these guys love to rag on. Award Tallies (7) Expend4bles (5) The Exorcist: Believer, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (4) Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania,…

Houston’s critics went in slightly different directions than their peers while staying within the status quo. Award Tallies (3) Poor Things (2) Barbie, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer (1) American Fiction, Chocolate Lizards, John Wick: Chapter 4, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, The Zone of Interest The…

Vancouver is always an oddball group and they haven’t disappointed. Not that that’s a bad thing. At least it’s different. Award Tallies (6) Oppenheimer (4) Anatomy of a Fall (3) The Zone of Interest (2) The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Nyad, Poor Things (1) American Symphony, Barbie, Maestro, Society of the Snow, Still:…

Chicago’s indie critics didn’t seem very independent with selections that mirror almost every group out there. Award Tallies (7) Oppenheimer (3) Poor Things, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2) Barbie, The Holdovers, Past Lives (1) Godzilla Minus One, John Wick: Chapter 4, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, The Zone of Interest The Awards Best Studio…

The OFCS loved Oppenheimer. Not much more to say. Award Tallies (8) Oppenheimer (4) Barbie (3) The Holdovers (1) 20 Days in Mariupol, John Wick: Chapter 4, Killers of the Flower Moon, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Past Lives, Spider-Man: Across the Universe, The Taste of Things The Awards Best Picture Oppenheimer Killers…

I have no idea when these were announced. Their website and X-Twitter account have been silent for a very long time. These were found on IMDb. Award Tallies (4) Killers of the Flower Moon (3) Past Lives (2) Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie (1) The Boy and the Heron, A Haunting in Venice, The Holdovers,…

Oppenheimer and Poor Things had very good days. As did The Zone of Interest. Barbie and Past Lives had poor showings. Is this a peculiarity of the British nomination process? Possibly. It’s hard to know for sure. All of Us Strangers had a mix of results. Two or three positive citations with a couple of…

The only major precursor outside of BAFTA left for Adapted Screenplay is the USC Scripter, which typically awards the screenwriter and the source material. This is great news for Origin, which seems to have been forgotten by most groups this year. The others were largely expected. What missed out? All of Strangers and Are You…

The OFCS seemed to like just about everything everyone else had, though there are quite a few notably exceptions. Maestro was completely shut out while American Fiction didn’t get a Best Picture citation. Nominations Tallies (12) Oppenheimer (11) Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things (9) Barbie (5) Anatomy of a Fall, Past Lives (4)…
