Precursor: 64th Grammy Awards (2021)
And with that, the 94th Oscar season is over. The Grammy Award nominations this year weren’t terribly instructive and the winners are even less so. The Awards Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2020) Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media TIE: The Queen’s Gambit (2020, TV) Soul (2020) Best…

Precursor: 26th Satellite Awards (2021)
If these had come out before the Oscars, we would have found them modestly interesting. However, after, they are just a footnote and also seem rather obvious. AwardsTallies (5) The Power of the Dog (4) Dune (3) tick, tick…BOOM! (2) Belfast, Encanto The Awards

94th Oscar Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 17 (FINAL)
Now that Oscar season has come to an end, let’s look back at the winners and losers of this year’s precursor races. Big Winners

Precursor: 42nd Golden Raspberry Awards (2021)
If the Razzies were simply punching down, that’s one thing, but they’ve actively abdicated their take on the worst of the year by going for a filmed stage musical as their big winner. A film that’s not even Oscar eligible wins five awards while the Space Jam reboot also does poorly. The nominations were lame…

Precursor: 59th Publicists Guild Awards (2021)
There’s not much to say about these. The main award anyone is concerned with went exactly as expected. The Awards Maxwell Weinberg Publicist Showmanship Motion Picture

Precursor: 38th Casting Society Awards (2021)
Many expected results come out of this year’s Casting Society awards. Not much to see, really. The Awards

94th Oscar Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 16
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). We’re down to the final awards of the year. Oscar voting ends on Tuesday, so what’s happened to…

Precursor: 36th Society of Cinematographers Awards (2021)
The results were expected and should manifest themselves once again at the Oscars. The Awards Best Cinematography Dune (Wesley, Tripp, RU:Peter) Documentary Faya Dayi (Wesley, Tripp, RU:Peter, RU:Thomas) Spotlight Award Pig (Peter, RU:Wesley, RU:Tripp) American Society of Cinematographers Data Year Founded: 1919 First Awards: 1986 (36)

Precursor: 74th Writers Guild Awards (2021)
One unexpected victory and one expected one. They didn’t really give us anything more to chew on than we had before. It wasn’t really an even competition because neither of the main Oscar contenders were eligible. The Awards Best Original Screenplay Don’t Look Up (RU:Peter, RU:Tripp) Best Adapted Screenplay CODA (Wesley, Peter, Tripp, Thomas) Documentary…

Precursor: 33rd Producers Guild Awards (2021)
Leave it to the Producers Guild to screw up a generally deserving awards season. The Power of the Dog should have won Best Picture, but it lost out to the early festival fave CODA. Does this change the Oscar trajectory? Perhaps, but we’ll see how the preferential balloting handles this. The Awards Best Picture CODA…

Precursor: 29th Cinema Audio Society Awards (2021)
As expected, Dune, Encanto, and Summer of Soul were the big winners at the Cinema Audio Society. The Awards Best Sound Mixing – Live Action Dune (Wesley, Peter, Tripp, Thomas) Best Sound Mixing – Animated Encanto (Wesley, Peter, Tripp, Thomas) Best Sound Mixing – Documentary Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be…

Precursor: 21st AARP Movies for Grownups Awards (2021)
What a weird hodge podge of selections, none of which seem particularly instructive in the Oscar race and none of which that don’t really scream that the entire organization voted for them while some really do seem to scream that. AwardsTallies (2) King Richard The Awards
-
Precursor: 2nd Critics Choice Super Awards (2021)
The Critics Choice Association never misses an opportunity to show their cool side and these selections seem like an attempt to do that with some unusual choices thrown in. Andrew Garfield, Dev Patel, and Agathe Rousselle make that clear. Awards Tallies (3) Spider-Man: No Way Home (2) Dune, No Time to Die The Awards
