Predictions: Spirit Awards
With an uncharacteristically Oscar nominee-limited slate makes this particular set of awards even less representative than it typically is. SPIRIT AWARDS Best Feature All of Us Strangers (RU:Peter, RU:Thomas) American Fiction (Wesley) May December Passages Past Lives (Peter, Thomas, RU:Wesley) We Grown Now Wesley Lovell: While it’s not 100% sacrosanct, an Oscar nomination is a…

Predictions: Screen Actors Guild
Will they affirm the current frontrunners or will they strike out on their own.

Path to Oscar 2023: Animated Short Film
The Annies only had one Oscar nominee in their batch, so they aren’t terribly representative this year. With minimal guidance, here’s how we think things will go. Best Animated Short Film Winner Predictions Letter to a Pig TL Ninety-Five Senses Our Uniform Pachyderme War Is Over! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko WLPP…

Predictions: Costume Designers Guild
What will win at the Costume Designers Guild? We’re pretty certain and, unfortunately, the Oscar race may not be decided with this one.

Predictions: Visual Effects Society
Their impact on the Oscars is felt in its top categories but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn about the strength of the competitors by the down-ballot selections.

Path to Oscar 2023: Makeup & Hairstyling
The Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild had something to say about what they think are the best but here’s how we think they might have an impact. Best Makeup & Hairstyling Winner Predictions Golda Maestro TL Oppenheimer Poor Things WLPP Society of the Snow Runner-Up Predictions Poor Things TL Society of the Snow WLPP…
-
Path to Oscar 2023: Original Song
With Original Song, the precursors are mostly strange. The added impact of the Grammy attention for one of the nominees may muddy the waters, so we only have the SCL to genuinely see what the industry in Hollywood might be thinking. Best Original Song Winner Predictions The Fire Inside – Flamin’ Hot I’m Just Ken…

Predictions: Annie Awards
The Annies have a hit-or-miss record with predicting the Oscars and their top categories can rarely suggest a change in direction but can affirm a frontrunner. ANNIE AWARDS Best Animated Feature The Boy and the Heron (Peter, RU:Wesley, RU:Thomas) Nimona Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Wesley, Thomas, RU:Peter) Suzume Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Wesley…
-
Predictions: Make-Up Artists Guild
Only one of these categories really speaks to the Oscar competition but not everyone is represented so we’ll see how accurate they can be if they can even pick one of the Oscar nominees to win. MAKE-UP ARTISTS & HAIR STYLISTS GUILD AWARDS Best Special Make-up Effects Golda (RU:Wesley) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3…
-
Predictions: British Academy
The closest thing we have to the makeup of the Academy of itself, the British Academy still has its quirks but campaigns can begin and end with them. BRITISH ACADEMY OF FILM & TELEVISION ARTS AWARDS Best Film Anatomy of a Fall (RU:Peter, RU:Thomas) The Holdovers Killers of the Flower Moon (RU:Wesley) Oppenheimer (Wesley, Peter,…

Path to Oscar 2023: Directing
The DGA can have an impact when they pick an Oscar nominee and, overall, their accuracy can’t be beat.

Path to Oscar 2023: Production Design
With the Art Directors Guild and Set Decorators Society both representing the industry, it will be interesting to see if their alignment or lack thereof will impact the Oscars. Best Production Design Winner Predictions Barbie Killers of the Flower Moon Napoleon Oppenheimer PP Poor Things WLTL Runner-Up Predictions Barbie WLTL Killers of the Flower Moon…

Path to Oscar 2023: Documentary Short Subject
Another category where no guild exists. There are even fewer organizations that recognize short documentaries, so we’re on our own. Best Documentary Short Subject Winner Predictions The ABCs of Book Banning TL The Barber of Little Rock Islands in Between The Last Repair Shop WLPP Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó Runner-Up Predictions The ABCs of…
