Published by

She’s back. After months of moving dates and deliberations, Warner Bros dropped a bombshell announcement last week that Wonder Woman 1984 would be released simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max on Christmas Day, putting it back into play this awards season. It drops in this month at #2.

Netflix’s The Midnight Sky takes the top spot, pushing down WB’s Birds of Prey, Disney’s Mulan and Apple’s Greyhound.

This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
