Oscar Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 11
Precursor season officially came to an end on Saturday night when the Film Independent Spirit Awards were handed out. Sunday night was the Oscars, meaning that most of what came in the week before was forgotten by this morning. As such, this article will be focused on which films came out of the precursors helped…

Precursor: 35th Spirit Awards (2019)
Showcasing that Marriage Story has utterly collapsed since its release, the film failed to win Best Picture, losing to The Farewell, one of the cusp films in the Best Picture race at the Oscars. Elsewhere, it was mostly Oscar nominees taking the awards with only one other huge surprise in the supporting female category where…

Precursor: 22nd Film Music Critics Nominations (2019)
Not terribly instructive so far after the Oscar nominations have been revealed and right before the Oscars are announced, but four of the five nominees for the Oscar for Best Original Score are nominated here with three of them earning three nominations and the fourth (Little Women) picking up two. Curiously missing is Randy Newman’s…

Oscar Preview: Precursor Winners & Losers, Week 10
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). With a single important precursor left (Film Independent’s Spirit Awards), we have about all of the information we…

Precursor: 61st British Academy Awards (2019)
The BAFTA Awards are being announced on the as-live broadcast of the ceremony; however, the ceremony in London is already over, so we know the winners. 1917 performed about as well as expected. There were a few minor upsets, but apart form Visual Effects, Animated Feature, Original Score, and Production Design, most the races appear…

Precursor: 24th Art Directors Guild Awards (2019)
A couple of less than expected results. While Parasite was predictable, and Once Upon a Time… wasn’t exactly expected, but also wasn’t shocking, the Avengers: Endgame selection was a bit of a surprise considering what went into the other films. This might suggest that the race is between Once and Parasite at the Oscars. The…

Precursor: 72nd Writers Guild Awards (2019)
Parasite and Jojo Rabbit get boosts going into the Oscars, though Little Women takes a hit. BAFTA’s winner might tell us where the Academy will go for sure. If it’s Jojo, then Women may be done. If Little Women wins at BAFTA, things might stay they way we expected. The Awards Best Original Screenplay Parasite…
