95th Oscars Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 13
As the precursor awards continue unabated until Oscar night, I’m going to be providing a weekly update highlighting the films that have won and lost momentum through the precursor awards (and in some cases other outside influences). Some major groups announced awards this past week including the Producers Guild, Screen Actors Guild, and Annie Awards.…

Precursor: 70th Sound Editors Guild Awards (2022)
Top Gun: Maverick, The Banshees of Inisherin, and All Quiet on the Western Front make their cases for a Sound win at the Oscars even though there is no sound editing category anymore. Best Sound Editing: Feature Effects / Foley Top Gun: Maverick Best Sound Editing: Feature Dialogue / ADR The Banshees of Inisherin Best…

Precursor: 25th Costume Designers Guild Awards (2022)
The biggest surprise here is that Everything beat Black Panther, one of the year’s frontrunners. While I doubt it repeats at the Oscars, it does confirm the strength of that film. That said, it’s hard to imagine it overcoming Elvis at this point. The Awards Best Period Costume Design Elvis (Wesley, Thomas, RU:Peter) Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy…

Precursor: 5th Latino Journalists Awards (2022)
Latino Journalists have followed the narrative of the year for the most part with a few unexpected results along the way. Awards Tallies (10) Everything Everywhere All at Once (3) Top Gun: Maverick (2) Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio The Awards

Precursor: 29th Screen Actors Guild Awards (2022)
SAG proves that Ke Huy Quan and Michelle Yeoh may be unstoppable, that everyone loves Everything Everywhere All at Once, that Jamie Lee Curtis might be a bigger threat for Best Supporting Actress than Angela Bassett, and Brendan Fraser might have gotten a great push towards the Oscar. Awards Tallies (4) Everything Everywhere All at…

Precursor: 54th NAACP Image Awards (2022)
Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever dominated these awards taking a staggering 8 awards with The Woman King performing well also. Awards Tallies (8) Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2) The Woman King The Awards

Precursor: 34th Producers Guild Awards (2022)
Think the Academy couldn’t go for Everything Everywhere All at Once? Think BAFTA is a better precursor? If the Producers Guild of America, using preferential balloting, can go for the chaotic feature, there’s no reason the Academy would ignore it. The Awards Best Picture Everything Everywhere All at Once (Thomas, RU:Wesley, RU:Peter) Best Animated Feature…

Precursor: 31st Annie Awards (2022)
As expected, Pinocchio dominated the awards with 5 trophies. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse did well with several awards in various categories we don’t cover plus one of the main attractions for the Animated Short Film Oscar. Awards Tallies (5) Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (3) Marcel the Shell with Shoes On…

Precursor: 6th Hollywood Critics Awards (2022)
Although they were supposed to be announced at separate ceremonies a week apart, the HCA chose to give out their creative arts awards the same day as the main awards. And ultimately they didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know. Awards Tallies (7) Everything Everywhere All at Once (4) RRR (2) Babylon, Black Panther:…

Precursor: 25th Film Music Critics Awards (2022)
When a television score dominates the year’s music awards, it suggests that the silver screen efforts were a bit lackluster. I must agree. Awards Tallies (2) The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power The Awards

Precursor: 14th GALECA Awards (2022)
Another organization that went overboard on its love for Everything. Even the unique categories seem overly uninspiring. Awards Tallies (7) Everything Everywhere All at Once The Awards

Precursor: 64th British Academy Awards (2022)
In a bit of a surprise, All Quiet on the Western Front dominated the BAFTA, leaving hometown favorite The Banshees of Inisherin and critics favorite Everything Everywhere All at Once in the dust. Austin Butler wins in a shocker over Colin Farrell and Brendan Fraser. Other than that, most of the awards went as expected.…

Precursor: 23rd Vancouver Critics Awards (2022)
Vancouver’s critics went in different directions and sometimes inexplicably. Everything was well liked, but ignored one of the few actors to have dominated the season. Meanwhile, Canadian efforts I Like Movies and Riceboy Sleeps dominated the Canadian portion of the group’s awards with Women Talking winning across both. Awards Tallies (4) I Like Movies (3)…

Precursor: 27th Art Directors Guild Awards (2022)
Moving it one step closer to the Oscars, Babylon captured the Period Art Direction award as the only one of this year’s Oscar nominees to win at the ADG.
