29th Toronto Critics Awards

51st Los Angeles Critics Awards
Los Angeles critics have given the third of the four major critics groups awards to One Battle After Another. The rest of the choices seem fairly well in line with the current wisdom. Awards Tallies (3) One Battle After Another (1) Afternoons of Solitude, Blue Moon, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, It Was…

24th DC Critics Awards
DC critics are the first to really diverge from the One Battle After Another bandwagon but are otherwise falling in line with most other groups. Awards Tallies (9) Sinners (3) One Battle After Another (2) KPop Demon Hunters (1) A House of Dynamite, Avatar: Fire and Ash, F1, Hamnet, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,…

24th DC Critics Nominations
DC critics have a decent track record and their selections are interesting with most of the major Oscar contenders represented and few genuine surprises. Nominations Tallies (13) One Battle After Another (12) Sinners (9) Hamnet (8) Marty Supreme (7) Sentimental Value (5) Avatar: Fire and Ash, Frankenstein (4) It Was Just an Accident, Zootopia 2…

3rd Michigan Critics Guild Nominations
Michigan’s critics aren’t terribly creative. Many of these selections are about as predictable as you can get. Nominations Tallies (12) One Battle After Another (10) Sinners (6) Hamnet (5) Frankenstein, Marty Supreme (3) Avatar: Fire and Ash, Wicked: For Good (2) Sorry, Baby, Train Dreams (1) The Accountant 2, Another Simple Favor, Arco, Ballerina, Bugonia,…

31st Critics Choice Nominations
Sinners pulled out a surprisingly large number of nominations while One Battle After Another did quite well as well. There are a few surprises here or there but mostly what we’ve been talking about so far this year. Nominations Tallies (17) Sinners (14) One Battle After Another (11) Frankenstein, Hamnet (8) Marty Supreme (7) F1,…

25th American Film Institute Top Ten
Jay Kelly is the only surprising inclusion in this list, especially since it seemed to have faded into obscurity since it’s release. Otherwise, mostly films we expected to see. Typically, the Academy’s list will include most of these but with that special award win, It Was Just an Accident will certainly be one of the…

97th National Board of Review Awards
Another major win for One Battle After Another. If they can pick up the National Society of Film Critics and Los Angeles Film Critics awards, that might be the end of the race. One surprising omission is Hamnet, which didn’t get into the top “10” list at all. A bit shocking for the one film…

41st Spirit Award Nominations
There was a time when the Spirit Awards were as far removed from the Oscar nominations as anything. In recent years, as the Academy has become more cognizant of indie work, that connection has merged. This year’s list is pretty far removed from the trend and reverts to its obscure selections bolstered by a handful…
-
91st New York Critics Awards
The New York Film Critics Circle remains idiosyncratic, taking mainstream Hollywood and blending it with non-English winners. The Jafar Panahi win is likely the result of the recent conviction he was given in absentia. The rest seem pretty standard for this group with a few winners likely to carry over but most not. Awards Tallies…

38th European Film Excellence Nominations
They’ve added a casting director award but removed the award for visual effects. Not much to see here. Nominations Tallies (5) Bugonia, Siråt, Sound of Falling (3) Sentimental Value (2) Franz (1) Die My Love, Duse, The Stranger, The Voice of Hind Rajab The Nominations Best Casting Director Sentimental Value Siråt Sound of Falling Best…

9th Hollywood Creative Alliance Nominations (Full)
With their creative nominees announced last week and their full nominations today, we have the full info about the Astra Awards and they’ve really over-extended themselves to get as many nominees together as possible. The International Press Academy was the last organization that tried separating the supporting categories by drama and comedy/musical and even they…

16th Hollywood Music in Media Awards
Sinners won big while Diane Warren: Relentless likely secured an Oscar nomination from this win. That said, none of the winners here are guaranteed anything since this group is a relative neophyte in its Oscar correlations. Awards Tallies (3) Sinners (2) Diane Warren: Relentless (1) Avatar: Fire and Ash, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,…

9th Hollywood Creative Alliance Nominations
Splitting up your creative arts awards is always a bad move and it seems certain based on what is known about this organization that it’s done in order to maximize publicity for the forgotten cousin of the Critics Choice Awards. Their nominations seem to focus on some titles we’ve been expecting but also highlighting a…
