1st Michigan Critics Guild Awards (2023)
Another example of a small group result, there are two ties on the list. Most of the choices seem conventional with Anatomy of a Fall‘s screenplay win the only surprising result. Awards Tallies (3) Barbie (1) American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, John Wick: Chapter 4, Migration, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part…

23rd American Film Institute Top Ten (2023)
The most interesting thing to say about this list is that it feels a bit vanilla. Sure, these are all largely acclaimed films, but other than Spider-Man, there are no shocking inclusions. Some of the major Oscar players that aren’t listed are Air and The Color Purple. The former really needed this posting to remain…

51st Saturn Award Nominations
Avatar: The Way of Water was dominant, but Barbenheimer also did quite well. Very niche choices here and nothing that will impact the Oscars. Award Tallies (12) Avatar: The Way of Water (11) Oppenheimer (9) Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (8) Barbie (7) Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 (5) The Menu, Renfield…

7th Hollywood Creative Alliance Nominations (2023)
While Barbenheimer dominates, several promising performers appear on this list. A lot of names all show up that had been largely written off. They have far too many categories and their sorting on their website is inconsistent (though mostly frustrating). Award Tallies (15) Barbie (14) Oppenheimer (10) Killers of the Flower Moon, Spider-Man: Across the…

95th National Board of Review Awards (2023)
The National Board of Review is one of the weaker Oscar predictors of the major players, but getting citations can still generate buzz for your performance. This certainly helps both Giamatti and Ruffalo while potential streaks seem to be building around Lily Gladstone in her seemingly successful gambit to switch to lead and around Da’Vine…

39th Spirit Award Nominations
The Spirit Award nominations yielded few major surprise, though a few stand out: Julianne Moore didn’t make the supporting cut, nor did Lily Gladston (for The Unknown Country) make it in to lead. Paul Giamatti couldn’t get into the lead race in spite of The Holdovers doing well. That said, it didn’t make the Best…

8th Atlanta Critics Awards
Atlanta’s film critics have announced their winners. The group has less than 2 dozen members. Oppenheimer was a huge winner taking a staggering eight awards. So far, Lily Gladstone and Da’Vine Joy Randolph are doing best with acting wins. Award Tallies (8) Oppenheimer (2) Killers of the Flower Moon (1) Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie,…

1st Michigan Critics Guild Nominations (2023)
The Michigan Critics Guild is a new organization announcing winners this year. A very small group usually makes idiosyncratic choices, which could explain why Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, and Past Lives make Best Picture without a corresponding directing citation while Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese don’t get their films past the finish mark.…

The European Film Awards have announced winners in their Excellence categories, the creative arts ones, the rest will be announced on 12/9. Since the nominations were out previously, I’m recapping all of it in one post. Several Oscar contenders make an appearance here, so it has some interesting things to look at. Nominations Tallies (5)…

89th New York Critics Awards (2023)
This is probably the most mainstream list this organization has put out with Killers and Oppenheimer doing well. The only left-field choice is Franz Rogowski for Best Actor, the only one of the three that isn’t likely to parlay the win into an Oscar campaign. Award Tallies (2) Killers of the Flower Moon, May December,…
-
33rd Gotham Awards (2023)
Not much of interest in these winners, but it sets Past Lives as one of the major players this year and suggests Anatomy of a Fall is also going to dominate critics awards while Lily Gladstone (for a different film) and Charles Melton could have stronger paths to nominations. Award Tallies (2) Anatomy of a…
