9th Hollywood Creative Alliance Awards
There’s a point at which the Golden Globes became something of a joke. That was when Pia Zadora won over Elizabeth McGovern, Howard E. Rollins Jr., Kathleen Turner, Rachel Ward, and Craig Wasson. The HCA managed to become a punchline in only their 9th year with the elevation of a trained animal over professional actors…

F1 and Weapons make surprise appearances while Wicked: For Good is left out entirely. The Secret Agent, No Other Choice, and It Was Just an Accident were injured by their exclusions but the PGA isn’t huge on foreign features and Sentimental Value is the one they chose to recognize.

42nd Casting Society Awards
For some reason, my comments were not retained on this one. All I could really say was that One Battle After Another was not nominated and that’s a shock. Also note that the below has been revised. Somehow the prior source of this information had last year’s short film nominations listed. This has been updated…
