37th Producers Guild Nominations
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. Train Dreams finally gets a boost…

Predictions: Golden Globe Awards

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…

4th UK Critics Nominations
Their release window being different than the U.S., that explains the presence of two 2025 films and one that hasn’t been released stateside yet. The rest are pretty well expected nominees with the first showing for Kaouther Ben Hania and The Voice of Hind Rajab (at least recently). Nominations Tallies (7) One Battle After Another…
