Oscars

The July predictions for Cinematography, Film Editing, Original Score, Production Design and Costume Design for the 2018 Oscars open up a bit from last month where Blade Runner 2049 dominated. The sci-fi sequel starring Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford returning to one of his most iconic roles still leads the Cinematography race (will this finally be Roger Deakins’ path to ...

Things are looking very good for Melissa Leo to snag her second Best Supporting Actress Oscar with Sony Pictures Classics anointing her nun drama Novitiate with a heavenly October 27th release date. In all, the top 5 is the same as last month but Leo now posts a massive 32-point lead over her competition at #2, Michelle Pfeiffer in mother! ...

Now here is a category that is seeing some change from last month. While Michael Stuhlbarg is still #1 for Call Me By Your Name, the rest of the top five looks nothing like June. Gone are Ben Mendelsohn (Darkest Hour) after peaking at #2, Steve Buscemi (Lean on Pete) and Michael Shannon (The Current War). To break those down, ...

Oy, not much to report here. 12 of the 16 actresses getting votes this month are in the exact same position as last month. That stagnation comes from what feels like a field of uninspired choices.

Kathryn Bigelow (Detroit) returns to the #1 spot this month in our Best Director predictions, albeit tied with last month’s #1, Steven Spielberg (The Papers).

Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk) and Joe Wright (Darkest Hour) flip spots, and nearly the same point totals, giving Nolan his highest ranking to date. Luca ...

Name changes, new entries and some movement this month in Best Picture. Steven Spielberg’s Pentagon Papers film with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks has finally settled on a title: The Papers, and the Dan Gilroy-directed Denzel Washington thriller Inner City is now called Roman Israel, Esq. Inner City was better, in my opinion. Still, it moves up this month even ...

The first official 2018 Oscar predictions for the tech categories from the Gold Rush Gang and Blade Runner 2049 takes a clear lead on multiple categories. Dominating Cinematography with a perfect score of 100, could this finally be Roger Deakins’ ticket to Oscar gold or is it merely a replicant? Dunkirk isn’t too far behind here and with Hoyte Van ...

Each outnumber their #2 rivals by exactly 20 points with both films in the top 5 for Best Picture (with The Papers at #1) an in Best Director Spielberg sits in the top spot while CMBYN‘s Luca Guadagnino is just outside the ...
