67th Grammy Awards
Three winners from 2023 and one winner that was ineligible for this year’s Oscars. If it weren’t clear from the nominations, it’s certainly clear now. These will have no impact.

Predictions: Set Decorators Society 2024
The Set Decorators Society earns the prize for going first in the post-nominations landscape. Sure the Globes have already happened but the American Cinema Editors postponed due to the L.A. fires. SDSA was far enough out that they are still going to be able to keep their date while ACE moves to after the Oscars.…
