Precursor: 34th Producers Guild Awards (2022)
Think the Academy couldn’t go for Everything Everywhere All at Once? Think BAFTA is a better precursor? If the Producers Guild of America, using preferential balloting, can go for the chaotic feature, there’s no reason the Academy would ignore it. The Awards Best Picture Everything Everywhere All at Once (Thomas, RU:Wesley, RU:Peter) Best Animated Feature…

Precursor: 31st Annie Awards (2022)
As expected, Pinocchio dominated the awards with 5 trophies. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse did well with several awards in various categories we don’t cover plus one of the main attractions for the Animated Short Film Oscar. Awards Tallies (5) Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (3) Marcel the Shell with Shoes On…

Precursor: 6th Hollywood Critics Awards (2022)
Although they were supposed to be announced at separate ceremonies a week apart, the HCA chose to give out their creative arts awards the same day as the main awards. And ultimately they didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know. Awards Tallies (7) Everything Everywhere All at Once (4) RRR (2) Babylon, Black Panther:…

Precursor: 25th Film Music Critics Awards (2022)
When a television score dominates the year’s music awards, it suggests that the silver screen efforts were a bit lackluster. I must agree. Awards Tallies (2) The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power The Awards

Precursor: 14th GALECA Awards (2022)
Another organization that went overboard on its love for Everything. Even the unique categories seem overly uninspiring. Awards Tallies (7) Everything Everywhere All at Once The Awards

95th Oscars Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 12
As the precursor awards continue unabated until Oscar night, I’m going to be providing a weekly update highlighting the films that have won and lost momentum through the precursor awards (and in some cases other outside influences). A couple of big name organizations announced winners this past week. The British Academy and the Directors Guild…

Precursor: 64th British Academy Awards (2022)
In a bit of a surprise, All Quiet on the Western Front dominated the BAFTA, leaving hometown favorite The Banshees of Inisherin and critics favorite Everything Everywhere All at Once in the dust. Austin Butler wins in a shocker over Colin Farrell and Brendan Fraser. Other than that, most of the awards went as expected.…

Precursor: 23rd Vancouver Critics Awards (2022)
Vancouver’s critics went in different directions and sometimes inexplicably. Everything was well liked, but ignored one of the few actors to have dominated the season. Meanwhile, Canadian efforts I Like Movies and Riceboy Sleeps dominated the Canadian portion of the group’s awards with Women Talking winning across both. Awards Tallies (4) I Like Movies (3)…

Precursor: 27th Art Directors Guild Awards (2022)
Moving it one step closer to the Oscars, Babylon captured the Period Art Direction award as the only one of this year’s Oscar nominees to win at the ADG. The Awards Best Period Art Direction Babylon (Wesley, Peter, RU:Thomas) Best Fantasy Art Direction Everything Everywhere All at Once (RU:Wesley) Best Contemporary Art Direction Glass Onion:…

Precursor: 75th Directors Guild Awards (2022)
The Daniels won this year’s DGA, which means it is now the odds-on favorite to win the Best Directing Oscar. While it would also make Everything Everywhere All at Once the film to beat in Best Picture, there’s no guarantee in recent years that it will go to the DGA winner. The Awards Best Director…

Precursor: 16th Houston Critics Awards(2022)
Although Banshees did better in the nominations, Everything came out on top. Awards Tallies (3) The Banshees of Inisherin, Everything Everywhere All at Once, RRR The Nominations

Precursor: 21st Visual Effects Society Awards (2022)

95th Oscars Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 11
As the precursor awards continue unabated until Oscar night, I’m going to be providing a weekly update highlighting the films that have won and lost momentum through the precursor awards (and in some cases other outside influences). There were only three precursors this past week, the Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild, the Online Film…

Precursor: 14th Make-Up Artists Guild Awards (2022)
The awards went about as expected considering each of us predicted at least one prize right and most of us predicted four out of five. Not much to say about this result as it plays into the conventional narrative for this year’s Oscars. Awards Tallies (2) Elvis The Awards
